According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, the Browns are expected to re-sign LB Sione Takitaki in the coming days. 

Cabot says it’s a matter of “when” a deal is done with Takitaki and is likely to be a one-year contract worth around $2.5 million for the 2023 season. 

Takitaki suffered a torn ACL late last season, so he’s a candidate to open the 2023 season on the PUP list for a team. 

Takitaki, 27, was the No. 80 overall pick in the third round of the 2019 draft by the Browns out of BYU. He signed a four-year, $3,480,872 rookie contract including a $960,872 signing bonus. 

In 2022, Takitaki appeared in 12 games for the Browns and recorded 71 tackles and one sack.
