Rodger Saffold Inks Deal To Join Browns Practice Squad
Veteran free-agent guard Rodger Saffold has been signed to the Cleveland Browns practice squad. Cleveland has dealt with injuries along its offensive line all season, so the two-time Pro Bowler will provide much-needed depth as the team heads into postseason action next week. Saffold spent nine seasons with the St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams before a three-year stint with the Tennessee Titans. He most recently played for the Buffalo Bills before spending time on the New York Jets practice squad. It's unclear whether Saffold will see any playing time for the Browns, but he's an experienced veteran who started in a Super Bowl for the Rams (2018) and an AFC title game for the Titans (2019). He has started 173 games since entering the league in 2010.
The Tennessee Titans informed Pro Bowl offensive guard Rodger Saffold that they are releasing him on Thursday, according to a source. The 2022 season would have been the fourth year of a four-year, $44 million deal that had a $1 million roster bonus due next week. Saffold made his first Pro Bowl last year despite dealing with an ankle injury that slowed him down at the end of the season. The 33-year-old was a second-round pick in 2010 by the St. Louis Rams and spent and spent the first nine seasons of his career with the Rams. Saffold shouldn't have any problems finding a new gig on the open market this offseason.
