The Cleveland Browns are expected to be interested in multiple linebackers as they figure out their plans for the position next year.
One name that could reportedly be in play is Kaden Elliss, a productive defender who has played well throughout his career.
According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Elliss is receiving interest from multiple teams due to his familiarity with a few different coaching staffs across the league, which include Cleveland’s.
“Linebacker Kaden Elliss has fans around the league among the previous staffs he has played for: San Francisco (defensive coordinator Raheem Morris) and Cleveland (defensive coordinator Mike Rutenberg), among others, though Cleveland has interest in re-signing Devin Bush at linebacker,” Fowler wrote.
Elliss’ connection to Cleveland’s coaching staff makes him a logical target if the Browns want to go that route.
However, Fowler also noted that Cleveland had interest in bringing Bush back. After the writing, Bush took a deal with the Chicago Bears.
With the Browns losing Bush, Elliss could be the best option to step into a significant role in Cleveland’s defense heading into the season.
The 30-year-old is coming off a season in which he posted 59 total tackles and 3.5 sacks for the Atlanta Falcons.
