Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be big value for Browns
Daniel Popper of The Athletic believes Lucas' contract with the Browns could be among the best bargains in the 2025 free-agent class.
ANALYSIS
Lucas has made 54 starts in his NFL career while serving as a reliable swing tackle. He's signed for well below starting left tackle money but could find himself manning that position in Cleveland since Jedrick Wills is a free agent and 2023 fourth-round draft pick Dawand Jones has spent time on IR in each of his first two seasons, most recently requiring arthroscopic knee surgery.
