Browns general manager Andrew Berry spoke on his excitement for the finalization of cornerback Denzel Ward and safety Grant Delpit’s contract extension on Thursday. He said the two are pillars of the team and great leaders because they’re great players and people.

Berry also talked about the potential of bringing Jadeveon Clowney back despite the way his time here ended.

“That was really cool. Deion Sanders. Forget that he’s Shedeur’s dad … everything he’s achieved. It was awesome,” said Todd Monken, Browns head coach.

Monken said he spoke to Deion Sanders and they talked a lot about life and a little ball.

“It was part coach, part father. Which it should be,” Monken said.

Players talk

Browns defensive end Jared Verse reiterated that he’s “not here to fill anyone’s shoes” just as he did in the beginning of June, when he first landed in Cleveland after a Myles Garrett trade to the Los Angeles Rams.

He said no one should compare him to Garrett, or any other player for that matter. He added that he’s Jared and he aims to raise the defensive standard on his own, without comparisons.

Delpit said a part of his leadership with this team is getting the rookies that might have a misconception of Cleveland and showing them, “what the city has to offer and what we can offer it.”

When asked about depth on the defensive line and how important identifying talent for rotation is, Berry said:
