Browns decide not to sign A.J. Epenesa, based on his physical

The Cleveland Browns have decided not to finalize a one-year contract with defensive end A.J. Epenesa, citing concerns from his physical examination.

The team agreed to a deal worth up to $5 million earlier this month, but decided not to proceed after the physical raised concerns.

Epenesa, a 2020 second-round pick, will now return to the open market following 91 career games and 24 sacks.
