Former Packers cornerback Sam Shields is looking to resume his NFL career and will start visiting teams this week, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets. The Browns will be among his first visits.

Shields, 30, suffered the fifth concussion of his career in Green Bay’s 2016 season opener and hasn’t played since. He didn’t draw any interest in the 2017 offseason, but he began training again this winter with the hope of playing once again.
It remains to be seen if a team will gamble on Shields’ health, but we heard last month that the cornerback is confident that he’ll find a job and at least one personnel executive told Michael Cohen of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Shields could land a contract if he is medically cleared by team doctors.
Adding talent to the secondary is among the Browns’ top priorities this offseason, as PFR’s Sam Robinson recently noted. The Browns have the cap room to add big names such as Trumaine Johnson, Malcolm Butler and Kyle Fuller, but Shields could be an intriguing veteran addition, even if he’s not brought in as a Week 1 starter.
Shields, a former undrafted free agent, spent seven years with the Packers. He started 62 games and tallied up 18 interceptions during that span.
