AFC Notes: Browns, Ravens, Steelers

Browns

Despite not being the biggest name trading on draft day, former Rams CB Troy Hill was sent back to the team by the Browns in exchange for a fifth-round pick.

Hill let it be known that he feels disrespected by Cleveland and is happy to be back with Los Angeles.

โ€œWhen I was in Cleveland, I always found myself trying to compare things to how it was done over here in L.A.,โ€ Hill said, via Gary Klein of the L.A. Times. โ€œI donโ€™t know if it was me just trying to compare as far as this is what a winning program [does], or it was just missing everything that was happening over here. I feel disrespected. Definitely motivated to come out and show what I can do.โ€

Ravens

  • The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec notes Ravens sixth-round RB Tyler Badie will probably compete with RB Justice Hill for the No. 3 job and kick returning duties, though it’s conceivable the team could keep both. Hill is coming off a torn ACL. 
  • Zrebiec expects the Ravens to look to add a veteran wide receiver to their group. They also need to add one, if not two, veterans at outside linebacker. 
  • After drafting first-round C Tyler Linderbaum, which allows Patrick Mekari to move to a sixth OL role, and fourth-round OT Daniel Faalele, Zrebiec points out the Ravens’ depth at tackle is quite good, meaning Ja’Wuan James might not be a roster lock at $3.25 million. 
  • Baltimore could also release DE Derek Wolfe after June 1 and save $2 million, per Zrebiec. He adds the addition of fourth-round P Jordan Stout also likely means curtains for veteran Sam Koch, which saves another $2 million. 

Steelers

  • A source tells NFLTR Lousiana Tech RB Marcus Williams has rookie camp invites from five teams, including the Steelers. He’s also been invited by the Bucs, Falcons, Jets and Saints. 
  • Louisiana DT Tayland Humphrey was invited to the Steelers’ rookie minicamp. (Aaron Wilson)
