The Cleveland Browns are bringing back linebacker Devin Bush on a one-year, $3.25 million deal, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Tuesday.
Bush was the first-round pick of the Browns' AFC North rival Pittsburgh Steelers in 2019. He played there for four seasons on his rookie contract before entering free agency in 2023. He played for the Seattle Seahawks for one season before landing in Cleveland last year.
The linebacker missed most of the 2020 season after he tore his ACL against the Browns that year.
In 16 games last season, Bush totaled 76 tackles (45 solo tackles) and one sack. His best statistical season was his rookie year in Pittsburgh when he tallied 109 tackles (72 solo tackles), one sack, one forced fumble, four fumble recoveries and two interceptions.
Bush helped the Browns' defense out a lot last season as they dealt with multiple linebacker injuries, including when Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah and Jordan Hicks both missed time.
