Cleveland Browns News: First day of legal tampering quiet for the Browns
By Randy Gurzi
The Daily Dawg Tags bring you all the Cleveland Browns news you need to know, even when things are quiet like they were during the first day of legal tampering
There was some smoke, but not any real fire. The Cleveland Browns stayed relatively quiet throughout the first day of what has been commonly known as the ‘legal tampering period’ in the NFL.
With free agency set to start on March 13, teams were permitted to begin negotiations on Monday – but for some reason, no contracts can actually be signed. No one quite understands what the deal with that is, but at least we get some deals agreed to. Well, most teams do anyway.
After the first day of negotiations was in the book, the Browns had no agreements in place with any free agents. They did, however, show interest in a few players who could improve their roster.
