USAToday:

The agent for Browns free agent safety T.J. Ward says the Pro Bowler remains hopeful of signing a long-term deal with the team.

Ward is eligible to hit the open market next week. His agent, Josh Arnold, said in a statement Tuesday that he began "detailed contract discussions" with "multiple" Browns executives at the NFL combine in Indianapolis last month and that the talks have continued. However, the sides have not yet reached an agreement.

This is great news for any Browns fans in the house since Ward had his best season last year and is one of the best safeties in the league.

This is bad news for this Patriots fan who really really wants to see Ward lining up next to McCourty next season. Plus this way he can become the future Patriots killer.
