Lands in Cleveland
The Browns signed Needham to a contract Monday.
ANALYSIS
Needham joins Cleveland as a veteran depth option at cornerback just days ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft. The 28-year-old spent the first six years of his NFL career with Miami, where he was a well-rounded contributor on defense prior to suffering an Achilles tear during the 2022 season, after which point he struggled to regain his prior form. Needham has experience in the slot, outside and at safety.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to return to Miami
Needham indicated Monday the Dolphins have expressed interest in re-signing him, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year cornerback handled a starting role early in the year in Miami's injury-plagued secondary before he suffered a season-ending Achilles injury of his own in Week 6 against the Vikings. Needham will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason after making just under $4 million in 2022, and given his abbreviated campaign he could be an affordable option for the Dolphins once again as they look to rebuild their defense under a new coordinator, which is currently rumored to be veteran coach Vic Fangio.
