Deal or no deal: Browns, Kendricks reportedly agree to contract after all
Mychal Kendricks' Sunday came full circle, as the linebacker agreed to a one-year contract with the Cleveland Browns, according to Yahoo Sports' Jordan Schultz.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Kendricks can make more than $3 million in 2018.
It's been an odd day for the former Philadelphia Eagles defender. Kendricks reportedly agreed to a contract with the Browns on Sunday afternoon, but he refuted it soon after.
Mychal Kendricks on report he is signing with the Browns: 1/2: “No, it’s not accurate. I don’t know who the (bleep) said that. That (bleep) is (bleep). Whoever said that (bleep) is (bleep). That’s all I have to say, man. I’m not really talking to anybody else about it...

It now appears the deal is going forward, with Schultz, Rapoport, and Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press confirming the agreement.
The Browns haven't announced the deal yet, leaving room for more excitement and uncertainty. Kendricks isn't exactly making the situation easier either.
I called free-agent LB Mychal Kendricks to ask him about the Yahoo Sports report tonight that he has agreed to a one-year deal with Cleveland with a maximum value of $3.5 million. He hung up.

Signing the 27-year-old would add to a talented linebacker corps in Cleveland. He would slot in alongside Jamie Collins, Christian Kirksey, and Joe Schobert.
