Browns signed seventh-round T/G Garrett Gilkey to a four-year contract.
A 34-game starter at Chadron State, Gilkey is short armed with some athleticism and projects as a potential let guard in time. He's got a long way to go, though, and it would be stretching to expect him to make the 53 as a rookie.

Browns OLBs Paul Kruger and Jabaal Sheard are alternating sides in OTAs.
It's a minor detail. "It gives us a chance to work them there in case you need to down the road and just see guys from different sides," coach Rob Chudzinski said. Whatever side he's rushing from, Kruger will be an every-down player as the strong-side linebacker. Sheard will have to fight for snaps with first-round pick Barkevious Mingo, and could be limited to sub-packages.

Coach Rob Chudzinski insists Trent Richardson's (leg) absence from OTAs - and likely minicamp - is "precautionary."
"We'll take it day-by-day," Chud said. We don't doubt that the Browns are being extra cautious with last year's No. 3 overall pick, but the problem is Richardson requiring so much caution to begin with. He's been banged up since the second his name was called in New York, and never really approached 100 percent health as a rookie. Richardson's upside remains sky high - there's a reason he was the No. 3 pick - but he must prove he can stay healthy as a sophomore. Constant nagging injuries won't cut it in the rugged AFC North.
