Playing 17 snaps as the WILL linebacker in base sets defensively, second-year linebacker Tony Fields II provided a spark for the Browns. This included blowing up a screen play for a loss down the stretch that put the Buccaneers behind the sticks.
Given the injuries faced at the second level of the defense, and given the uncertain futures of the majority of the linebackers on the roster this offseason, the Browns would be given a massive boost if Fields can continue to contribute on the field.
All of Sione Takitaki, Anthony Walker Jr., and Deion Jones are set to be free agents after the season, and Jacob Phillips does not have a clear pathway back to the roster either. Even if it is just in base packages, getting contributions as they got out of their former fifth round pick in Fields will go a long way toward feeling confident in the future of that room.
