Cleveland Browns 2012 Free Agency Overview

The Cleveland Browns have 61 players signed or under club control for 2012, including three exclusive rights free agents. Because he was placed on the non-football injury list in Week 6 after playing in just four games, I had Marcus Benard not gaining an accrued season for 2011. That turned out to be incorrect and Benard is a restricted free agent.

Middle linebacker D'Qwell Jackson headlines a list of eleven Browns who are ticketed for unrestricted free agency.
