Overview
- Cleveland agreed to a deal with veteran defensive back Myles Bryant, adding experience to a thin spot in the secondary.
- Bryant has logged snaps at slot corner, free safety, outside corner, and in-the-box roles, positioning him to compete for nickel and safety reps.
- Contract terms were not disclosed, with Yahoo’s Browns Wire indicating it is likely a veteran-minimum deal.
- His peak production came in 2023 with New England with 77 tackles, seven pass breakups, one interception, and two forced fumbles, and Pro Football Focus rated him 54th among 127 corners that year.
- After joining Houston in 2024, he played more defense last season with three starts and 40 tackles on 343 snaps, and he now enters a room led by Denzel Ward, Tyson Campbell, Myles Harden, Ronnie Hickman, and Grant Delpit as the team still eyes a true nickel in the draft.
