on Monday The Cleveland Browns are hosting free agent receiver Rishard Matthews for a workout on Monday http://www.clevelandbrownsteamonline.com/derrick-kindred-jersey , ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported.Matthews asked for and received his release from the Tennessee Titans on September 27, which was just over a month after signing a contract extension through the 2019 season. The extension reportedly included a $7.75 million team option following this year but included no guaranteed money, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.He was set to make $5 million this season.Matthews grabbed 118 receptions with 1,740 yards and 13 touchdowns over the last two seasons while working as Marcus Mariota’s preferred pass-catching option not named Delanie Walker.Heading into 2018, Matthews had health question marks after suffering what was believed to be a torn meniscus. He missed the Titans’ offseason program and all of training camp before being activated from the physically unable to perform list just before the season’s start.The Browns have been looking for proven receiver depth before and after trading away Josh Gordon. Rumors have persisted about their intent to sign free agent Dez Bryant, but nothing has progressed on that front since his training camp visit.Signing Matthews makes a lot of sense given the Browns’ frustration with their inexperienced receiving corps. Rookie Antonio Callaway has shown glimpses but has been wildly inconsistent and unreliable through his first four NFL appearances.Given he was on the mend entering this season, and he’d be learning a new offense http://www.clevelandbrownsteamonline.com/trevon-coley-jersey , there’s a chance it would take a few weeks for him to be able to contribute. Even then he might not get back to 100 percent this season, but he’s certainly worth an evaluation.If they like what they see the Browns should give him an offer before he leaves Berea. Matthews is also scheduled to visit the Arizona Cardinals on Tuesday. Below, we analyze the snap counts and stats on defense for the Cleveland Browns’ Week 14 game against the Carolina Panthers.Defensive LinePosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsMyles Garrett was a force against the Panthers. He logged another sack, pushing his season-total to 12.5. PFF gave him a grade of 90.8, saying he generated 7 pressures in 38 pass-rushing attempts. Remember, he almost nearly forced a strip-sack on Cam Newton to end the first half, but the play was overturned to a forward shuffle pass.The Browns saved up Larry Ogunjobi for the second half with a big brace on his bicep. He still played 69% of the snaps http://www.clevelandbrownsteamonline.com/jamie-collins-jersey , a sign that they feel he can deal with the injury moving forward (otherwise, they would’ve limited him much more).LinebackerPosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsGenard Avery received a lot of low grades for his pass coverage leading up to this week. Although he didn’t make spectacular plays in pass defense, he made a couple of stops, which was encouraging to see — even though I think it might have been “right place, right time.”Jamie Collins and Joe Schobert played the whole game, but neither had a play that really stood out.CornerbackPosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsThe officials kept throwing the flag on T.J. Carrie. As has been the case, some calls were understandable (but borderline) http://www.clevelandbrownsteamonline.com/christian-kirksey-jersey , while others are ones you’d like to let the guys play on. Carrie is not viewed as anywhere near a top corner, so him being “handsy” is drawing flags from officials.Terrance Mitchell made a very quiet return, but started and played 96% of the snaps. I don’t even remember his name being called once during the broadcast.SafetyPosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsDamarious Randall had the interception that sealed the victory at the end on Newton’s overthrow, but it was Jabrill Peppers who continues to receive some high praise from PFF (Randall also graded high).
