CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Browns gave second-round tenders to six restricted free agents, but safety Brodney Pool was not retained.
The Browns gave one-year salaries of $1.75 million for next season to running back Jerome Harrison, linebackers D’Qwell Jackson, Matt Roth and Jason Trusnik, safety Abram Elam and fullback Lawrence Vickers. Those players can sign offer sheets with other teams, but the Browns would have seven days to match the offer or they’ll receive a second-round draft pick as compensation.
Pool, a second-round pick in 2005, missed Cleveland’s final four games last season after sustaining at least his fourth known concussion.
