Frostee Rucker was the other situation run stuffing 4-3 end from Cincinnati who signed elsewhere today (Jonathan Fanene). Like Fanene, Rucker is slightly above average against the run and well below average as a pass rusher. 12 million over 3 years made a little sense for Fanene because he seems like a better fit in a 3-4, but the Browns run a 4-3 and they still paid 20 million over 4 years for Rucker. I don’t really think he’s any different than incumbent left end Jayme Mitchell. Both should just be situational players and they still need another pass rusher through the draft. I guess when the Browns said they weren’t going to spend big money this offseason, they meant they wouldn’t spent big money unless the player sucked.
