Veteran defensive end Za'Darius Smith is back in the fold with Cleveland as he believes the Browns have unfinished business.
“The culture, the chemistry with this team, man, everything," Smith said of the organization. "The brotherhood, man, the team camaraderie. I had a chance to go other places, but I felt like I didn’t want that, man. I felt like we didn’t get to where we wanted to last year, man. And we got something that we need to finish here. Hopefully we can get that done this year."
In back-to-back offseasons Cleveland made it know that they wanted Smith to be part of what they're building. It helped that in 2023, despite his numbers taking a dip overall, the nine-year veteran became a vocal leader inside the team facility. He believes he can have a similar impact this year, but also takes confidence in knowing the franchise brass still believes in his on the field abilities as well.
It might not make a lot of sense to people unfamiliar with the culture being built in Berea, Ohio, but to those who have been around it, returning to Cleveland makes all the sense in the world.
