Rayshawn Jenkins has been a free agent since his Seahawks release last month. The veteran safety has now lined up his first known visit since being let go, however. 
Jenkins will meet with the Browns today, Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com reports. The 31-year-old was one of several veterans cut in a cost-shedding move by Seattle, leaving him available to join a new team prior to the start of free agency. That did not take place, and with the draft looming little movement is expected at any position at this point of the offseason.
A fourth-round pick of the Chargers in 2017, Jenkins played out his rookie contract in Los Angeles. During the final two seasons of that stretch, he operated as a full-time starter and helped his free agent stock in the process. The Miami product took a four-year, $35MM pact with the Jaguars when he reached the market for the first time. Jenkins was a mainstay in the secondary during his time in Duval County, recording five interceptions and twice eclipsing 100 tackles.
Jacksonville’s decision to move on with one season remaining on his pact led to Jenkins’ 2024 Seahawks stint. During his only Seattle campaign, he made nine starts and 13 appearances, collecting 53 tackles, a pair of sacks and a 102-yard fumble recovery. Jenkins allowed a career-worst passer rating (113.6) in coverage, however, something which played a role in his latest release. He would give the Browns a veteran presence in the secondary in the event today’s visit produced a deal, though.
Cleveland lost D’Anthony Bell in free agency, and to no surprise Rodney McLeod – who stated an intention of retiring after the 2024 campaign – has not been re-signed. The Browns have Grant Delpit attached to the $12MM-per-year extension he signed in 2023, along with low-cost options in the form of Ronnie Hickman, Trey Dean and Chris Edmonds. Jenkins should not be in position to command a lucrative deal at this point in his career, so he could be an affordable starting-caliber option for the team. The Browns entered Friday with roughly $19.5MM in cap space, more than enough to work out an agreement if one is pursued.
Would be a very astute signing.
