2. Team Invites Players In For Wednesday Workout
Brad Stainbrook also reports that there will be some new faces in Berea on Wednesday.
The Browns are inviting players in for a workout, most notably DE Chris Odom, the USFL’s 2022 Defensive Player of the Year.
The #Browns are bringing in USFL DPOY DE Chris Odom and others for a workout, sources say. The workout is scheduled to take place on Wednesday.

Odom, a 27-year-old UDFA, has spent time in the NFL with the Falcons, Packers, and Commanders.
His career-best season was in 2022 with the USFL’s Houston Gamblers.
Odom has also worked out with the Arizona Cardinals, Houston Texans, and New Orleans Saints this offseason.
The Browns have not closed the door on a reunion with 2021 DE Takkarist McKinley, but he is also making the rounds with workouts with other teams.
He had a workout with the Dallas Cowboys and is scheduled to work out with the Arizona Cardinals on Wednesday.
3. Past Meets Present
Browns fans are always delighted to see Browns legend and future Hall of Fame left tackle Joe Thomas in Berea.
An even better sight is watching Thomas work.
He spent extra time with current left tackle Jedrick Wills after practice on Wednesday.
Only good things can come from the two of them spending extra time together.
