Browns Sign Andrew Sendejo on Cheap Deal as Andrew Berry Continues to Make John Dorsey's Tenure Look Bad
By Brady Williams
For the low price of only $2.25 milllion for one year, Andrew Sendejo is now a Cleveland Brown. He has a Pro Football Focus grade of 73.3, and last season, he racked up 45 tackles and three interceptions. Sendejo is a textbook depth player, and as a veteran, he adds experience to the team with a low price tag. His signing is just further proof that John Dorsey woefully mismanaged the Browns.
So far in free agency, Andrew Berry has addressed nearly every need for the Browns. He even fixed one of Dorsey's biggest blunders by signing offensive tackle Jack Conklin. In 2019, Dorsey traded the phenomenal Kevin Zeitler for pass rusher Olivier Vernon. They've needed help on the offensive line since then, and Berry got one of the best. He then signed Andrew Billings; a defensive tackle who can wreak enough havoc to actually create a pass rush.
Berry has focused on guys that fit more than signings that will make a big splash. These under-the-radar signings are about establishing a team identity and doing so without breaking the bank. Sendejo is a perfect safety for the Browns to have on the team. With Berry's other signing of cornerback Kevin Johnson, he's got a nickelback, too. He's revitalized the defense to be far more well-rounded while simultaneously addressing offensive needs.
After so many years of struggling to find players that could work for Cleveland, Berry has already started piecing together a team that can really gel. He's done all of this in his first year, and with so much cap space left, there's no way he's done.
