  Saints | Paul Kruger lands with Saints    Wed Aug 31, 08:34 AM

Free-agent LB Paul Kruger (Browns) will sign with the New Orleans Saints Wednesday, Aug. 31.

Footballguys view: We were surprised the Browns moved on from Kruger, but the Saints should be happy to scoop him up. Kruger is looking to bounce back after a disappointing 2015 season, and a fresh start in New Orleans should help. The team will try to get the most out of him as a pass-rusher.

  Saints | Paul Kruger visiting Saints    Tue Aug 30, 08:10 AM

Free-agent LB Paul Kruger (Browns) will visit the New Orleans Saints Tuesday, Aug. 30.

Footballguys view: The Saints could use some pass-rushing help, and Kruger could use a gig. After a disappointing season in 2015, Kruger is looking to bounce back this year. It was a bit surprising the Browns let him go, but a fresh start with a new team could do him some good.

  Browns | Paul Kruger thriving    Fri Sep 19, 11:33 AM

Cleveland Browns LB Paul Kruger has two sacks, eight tackles (three for a loss) and a pass defensed. He's having a breakthrough in the new system designed by head coach Mike Pettine and defensive coordinator Jim O'Neil. They have moved Kruger inside and out to create mismatches, and his pass coverage has improved.

  Browns | HC likes to rotate pass rushers    Wed May 21, 10:15 PM

Cleveland Browns LBs Paul Kruger, Barkevious Mingo and Jabaal Sheard all rotated in and out with the first-string defense during organized team activities (OTAs) Wednesday, May 21. It is expected to stay that way. 'I don't think you can have enough good pass rushers,' head coach Mike Pettine said. 'The key is to get a lead in the fourth quarter and have fresh pass rushers.'

Footballguys view: Mike Pettine's defense was excellent at generating pressure last year in Buffalo. They don't have quite the quality on the defensive line that the Bills have, but Cleveland should see more improvements on defense this year with progress by Mingo and company.

  Browns | Two OLBs likely will be used as rotational players    Sat Jul 13, 12:51 PM

Cleveland Browns LBs Barkevious Mingo and Quentin Groves likely will be used as rotational players at outside linebacker this season with LBs Paul Kruger and Jabaal Sheard being the starters.

Footballguys view: Mingo can be used effectively as a part time pass rusher. He's long and lean with first step explosion but he lacks power moves to his game. Mingo has high upside but may take a little bit of time to build proper strength and multiple pass rush moves at the pro level.

  Browns | Pleased with Jabaal Sheard    Sun Jul 7, 11:40 PM

The Cleveland Browns have been extremely pleased with the adjustment of LB Jabaal Sheard from a defensive end in the 4-3 scheme to outside linebacker. If the season opener now, Sheard would likely be one of the team's two outside linebackers along with LB Paul Kruger.

  Browns | Quentin Groves working as backup    Thu Jun 6, 01:06 PM

Along with Cleveland Browns LB Barkevious Mingo, LB Quentin Groves is working with the second-team defense behind LB Paul Kruger during the team's offseason workouts. 'Quentin is practicing really, really well for us right now,' outside linebackers coach Brian Baker said. 'All four are what we hoped. It gives us an opportunity - whether it's matchups, or rotation, or whatever - to work those guys in a way that will be most effective for them and us.'

  Browns | Barkevious Mingo wants to start    Wed Jun 5, 06:00 PM

Cleveland Browns LB Barkevious Mingo said his goal is to win one of the starting outside linebacker jobs this season but knows it will be hard for him to outperform LB Paul Kruger or LB Jabaal Sheard. 'I'm very determined,' Mingo said. 'That's the goal. That should be everybody's goal. You want to play, you want to help the team win, but you've got to put in the work.'

Footballguys view: Mingo is a freakish athlete with high upside. He may not get into the starting lineup this year but he's got the ability to be an impact player as a part time pass rusher. Mingo has the strength to beat blocks, and the length to chew up ground in a hurry. With good first step explosion he can bend around the edge to get to the QB.

Cleveland Browns LB Jabaal Sheard said he believes he can be part of an impactful outside linebacker rotation with LB Barkevious Mingo, LB Paul Kruger and LB Quentin Groves this season. 'It's a long game, and you're going to need a rotation throughout, and it's a long season as well,' Sheard said. 'So definitely we're going to need to share snaps and split it up amongst the four of us. You've got to stay healthy throughout the whole season, so I think that's going to play a big part in how our rotation works.'
