Here are the contract details for New York Giants LB Matthew Adams.
Matthew Adams played 85% of the Browns special teams last year There have been lots of names given to the NFL over the years. Often, the “No Fun League” is the one that fits the majority of the decisions made by the league but, for fans, “Not For Long” is an apt description of the experience of getting to know players on their teams.
The New York Giants continued addressing their roster depth this week, specifically focusing on special teams, signing former Cleveland Browns linebacker Matthew Adams.
He played every game in 2023, logging a career-high 85 percent snap share on special teams.
The Cleveland Browns have begun trimming their roster down to an initial 53-man roster. The team announced a flurry of moves yesterday that takes them down to 75 players at the moment.
The linebacker group just may need an infusion of youth The linebacker group for the Cleveland Browns this year is almost the same roster as in 2022. The familiar nameplates remain such as Anthony Walker, JOK, Sione Takitaki, Jacob Phillips, Tony Fields II, and Jordan Kunaszyk.
Like most training camps, the Browns have had some injury issues early While the NFL’s CBA has mostly taken physicality out of early training camps, injuries still occur quite frequently.
During early training camp, there are normally a lot of soft tissue injuries and other light tweaks due to players ramping back up for the season. On Tuesday, Cleveland Browns linebacker Matthew Adams exited practice early with what appeared to be a leg injury.

Adams tried to play in the game against Minnesota after coming back from a hamstring injury and got in for just five defensive plays and now has what is being reported by the team as a calf injury.
The Bears promoted linebacker Joe Thomas from the practice squad Saturday but what they didn't do may have said more about the health of their defense than their actual move.
Not having linebacker Roquan Smith at practice is one thing. Now the Bears don't even have his backup available. Smith missed practice Thursday for a second straight day with a hip injury but his backup, Matthew Adams, missed practice on Thursday for the first time this week with a hamstring injury.
Needless to say, Matthew Adams had a talk with Bears general manager Ryan Poles after a June incident in Chicago when he was charged with misdemeanor firearm possession and violating a municipal code by possessing metal-piercing rounds.
