Jason Trusnik - LB - Dolphins

Dolphins agreed to terms with LB Jason Trusnik on a two-year contract.

The Browns didn't bother to tender Trusnik after he plummeted on the depth chart last season, but he has more value in a 3-4 scheme. Mostly a special teamer, the 27-year-old has experience at both inside and outside 'backer. With just 3.5 carer sacks in five seasons, however, Trusnik won't bring much pass rush.

Jason Trusnik - LB - Dolphins

The Browns failed to tender LB Jason Trusnik before the lockout, meaning he'll be an unrestricted free agent.

They didn't deem him a fit for the new 4-3. Trusnik, 27, was a special teamer last year until injuries struck and forced him into five late-season starts. 2009 was his career year, with Trusnik posting 2.5 sacks and 56 tackles in ten more starts. He should find work as a versatile 3-4 inside/outside 'backer.

Jason Trusnik has started the past two games at outside linebacker for the Browns.

"I think we really got someone special here that we can develop," coordinator Rob Ryan said of the Braylon Edwards trade throw-in. "He'll be a final part of our defense for years to come." Trusnik is coming off an eight-tackle game after pushing David Bowens back inside.
