Browns

Browns RB Nyheim Hines chose to sign with Cleveland because he believed it was a perfect fit for him in the passing game.

“I think it was a great fit just because of the passing game, first off. I know that was something Cleveland was looking forward to, getting a back and guys who were explosive in space, and then the returner opportunity. The returners have been changing a lot over the years. What I’ve seen when we played them and Bubba was here, so I know Bubba’s probably one of. Bubba and Ken (Dorsey) are probably the two biggest reasons I’m here, so I’m thankful for that and thankful to be here,” Hines said, via BrownsWire.

I’m from Florida so that’s not something that I’m ever afraid of. If anything, that opens us up which you guys don’t realize. I’m excited about what we got.” (Cleveland.com’s YouTube)

Steelers

Steelers HC Mike Tomlin admitted that he’s not overly concerned about DL Cameron Heyward‘s absence during OTAs.

“I’m not overly concerned, to be quite honest with you,” Tomlin said, via PFT. “Cam is a guy with over 10,000-plus career snaps. I know Cam very well. We’ve shared a lot of experiences over the years. He and I talk often. As a matter of fact, we talked twice yesterday. That is not an irregular thing. It’s what we always do. We talk about not only where he is and what’s going on with him, but where this team is. As a leader, he needs information in that regard.”

• Heyward denied rumors of him retiring: “I’m not retiring anytime soon.” (Allison Koehler)
