Medical Issue Derails AJ Epenesa’s Planned $5 Million Deal with Cleveland Browns

Defensive end AJ Epenesa’s anticipated one-year, $5 million contract with the Cleveland Browns has been called off following a medical issue identified during his physical. The deal, which was initially reported on March 18, fell through after the Browns expressed discomfort with his medical evaluation.

This turn of events leaves Epenesa to explore other NFL opportunities, potentially even a return to his former team, the Buffalo Bills, while the Browns must resume their search for defensive line depth.
