Isaiah Bond, undrafted wide receiver, signed with the Cleveland Browns on a three-year, fully guaranteed deal worth 3.018 million after the Collin County grand jury issued a no bill on sexual assault charges. Cleveland stressed thorough due‑diligence in evaluating him, including polygraph results and extensive pre‑draft discussions. Bond joins a Browns receiver group that already includes Jerry Jeudy, Diontae Johnson and Cedric Tillman, creating a crowded, potentially high‑upside pass game.

Bond totaled 82 catches for 722 yards and nine touchdowns between Alabama and Texas, highlighting a productive single season in college. The Browns’ commitment signals a belief in his ability to operate in a professional setting despite the off‑field scrutiny. The arrangement also positions him for immediate competition, with Jeudy, Johnson and Tillman likely handling primary targets while Bond develops into a role player with special teams value.

The New England Patriots, under coach Bill Belichick, have had a legendary run in the NFL, achieving six Super Bowl victories and consistently making the playoffs. Recently, owner Robert Kraft reminisced on the Dudes On Dudes podcast, recalling the pivotal moment he met Belichick during Super Bowl XXXI. Kraft revealed that hiring Belichick was both a questioned and ultimately transformative decision for the franchise. Kraft emphasized how Belichick's hiring has proven to be one of the best choices in Patriots' history.
