Audi Forum » CLEVELAND (AP) — Greg Robinson resurrected his

career and resolved a major problem for the Browns last season.He’ll try for an encore.Robinson https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Bernie-Kosar-Jersey , a former high draft pick whose days in the NFL once seemed about over, re-signed with Cleveland on Monday for next season.The No. 2 overall selection in 2014, Robinson played all 16 games for Cleveland in 2018 starting the final eight. He solidified an important position following the retirement of 10-time Pro Bowler Joe Thomas and the team’s experiment with guard Joel Bitonio during training camp and rookie Desmond Harrison at left tackle in the season’s first half.Robinson was eligible to become an unrestricted free agent in March, but he’s decided to stay with the Browns for another season.The 26-year-old began the season behind Harrison, but was moved into the starting lineup when coach Hue Jackson was fired and replaced by Gregg Williams. With Robinson protecting quarterback Baker Mayfield’s blind side, the Browns allowed a league-low five sacks in the second half of the season after giving up 33 in the first eight games.Robinson’s security on the left side enabled Mayfield to set the league rookie record with 27 touchdown passes, and he opened holes for running back Nick Chubb, who set a club rookie mark with 996 yards rushing.Cleveland finished 7-8-1 after losing all 16 games in 2017.The Browns’ decision to re-sign Robinson will likely affect their plans in free agency and the draft. Cleveland has bigger needs on the defensive line, at linebacker and wide receiver.Robinson was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in 2014 but underperformed and was traded to Detroit in 2017. He didn’t live up to expectations with the Lions either and was released before the Browns signed him in June.The Browns also waived wide receiver Daniel Williams. He spent the final four weeks of last season on the club’s practice squad. Freddie Kitchens apparently wasn’t happy with the job Bob Wylie did with the Browns offensive line. Otherwise Derrick Kindred Jersey , Kitchens would have renewed Wylie’s contract to continue as an assistant coach on his staff after Kitchens got the head coaching job.Now, Kitchens isn’t happy with Wylie for other reasons.“It’s about the players. When do they get the credit?” Kitchens said, via Keith Britton of 92.3 The Fan. “Bob doesn’t wear brown and orange anymore. I had the opportunity to hire Bob. I didn’t want to. I went to the hospital to see Bob every week. At what point does Bob realize it was the players. . . .”Kitchens vented Monday, two days after Wylie questioned the Browns’ decision to keep Kitchens as the head coach over Gregg Williams. Wylie told Zach Gelb of CBS Sports Radio that the offensive staff did the heavy lifting for Kitchens last season and became “collateral damage” once Kitchens got the job.Wylie said he heard the Browns were letting him go from his daughter while he was in the hospital for 122 days rehabbing from major ankle and knee surgery.None of Wylie’s criticism sat well with Kitchens.“Well, I would say this, I know Bob Wylie to be a good person and out of respect to his family, I won’t get into any of that because he’s a father; he’s a husband; he’s a granddad,” Kitchens said, via Mary Kay Cabot of the . “But I would just say this about that whole situation. Bob knows what happened. Bob knows what was going on Myles Garrett Color Rush Jersey , and when he was here, he knew everything about it, you know?“Listen Bob wasn’t under contract. He forgot to tell everybody that. He wasn’t under contract. He had talked about retiring forever, all right? So, sometimes when a person says something, they have to be made to feel relevant, OK? Bob’s a good person, and I don’t want to lose sight of that. I have too much respect for him as a person.”Kitchens said the timing of Wylie’s interview took away from the team’s scrimmage Saturday, which drew more than 37 https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Rashard-Higgins-Jersey ,000 fans.“What I would say though is, what got lost in the shuffle is what really mattered and what we’re doing right now,” Kitchens said. “And for whatever reason it got lost in the shuffle. We just had 40,000 people at a stadium for a practice, all right? Where all the proceeds went to the [Get2School] initiative that the Browns have done, so that got lost in the shuffle of all this stuff that happened last year.”
