A low-risk depth retention that keeps a familiar face in Cleveland's secondary. Five headlines covered the move, all framing it as a depth-oriented housekeeping signing. Ross is a fringe roster player with limited impact as a starter or core contributor. Fans see this as a safe, uninspiring move with minimal upside or downside. Ross will battle for a depth cornerback role but faces a tough cut-down road.

This extension grades out as a reasonable signing for the Cleveland Browns — the team is getting significantly more on-field production than what they're paying for. D’Angelo's on-field performance ranks in the upper half among NFL CBs, grading him as a solid starter at the position. His $1.2M average annual value ranks as below-market money for the CB market. The production-to-cost ratio is favorable — solid starter output at a below-market price point represents solid asset management. D’Angelo is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The one-year deal minimizes the team's financial risk, effectively making this a prove-it contract.
