Well the Browns just cut one of there starting OLB's. The guy can bring pass rush depth which we need. We are working out Jenkins. I don't know why we have dline depth unless Jenkins can play nose.
Just one season removed from an 11-sack campaign, the Browns released edge rusher Paul Kruger. Lacking depth at the outside linebacker position after the Junior Galette injury in July, Kruger might make sense in Washington.
Kruger signed with the Browns in 2013 for a big-money contract (5 years/$40 million) after a successful start to his career with the Ravens. In Baltimore, Kruger rushed the quarterback opposite Terrell Suggs, freeing him up for 15.5 sacks in four years. His breakout season came in 2012, when the Ravens won the Super Bowl and Kruger logged nine sacks.
While he never lived up to the money in Cleveland, Kruger did have a strong year in 2014 when he totaled 11 sacks. Last year, however, his sack total dropped to just 2.5, leaving few surprised by his release from the Browns.
