While the San Diego Chargers are letting top running backs of the league leave for free agent market, the Cleveland Browns are doing the contrary. According to team president Mike Holmgren, the team plans to keep running back Jerome Harrison from being a restricted free agent by offering him a high-level tender.
The Browns will either assign Harrison the first-round tender of $2.521 million or the first and third-round tender of $3.168 million for continuing to wear Browns jersey. And Holmgren said the Browns plan to do so to make it very difficult for other teams to come in and get him. They will also retain the right of first refusal.
Although the Browns realize that Harrison is in lack of ideal size and that could affect his durability if he was called upon as an every-down back, they still consider he is worth the offer with his great performance in last season. Besides, the Browns plan to get some new running back s from the draft to co-work with Harrison as complement.
