Prior to his release, he started in 13 games while playing in all but one game throughout the season. In those games, he recorded 51 tackles, 22 assists and two sacks.

Kendrick’s spent the better part of the past week doing college style visits. He started the week visiting the Minnesota Vikings where his brother, linebacker Eric Kendricks tried to convince him to stay, but no deal could be made. Next up was the Oakland Raiders in the middle of the week before finishing his tours with the Cleveland Browns.

Kendricks joins a deep linebacker group in Cleveland that includes veterans Jamie Collins and Christian Kirksey, as well as young guns Joe Schobert, James Burgess, and 2018 fifth round pick Genard Avery.

He joins fellow defensive acquisitions cornerbacks E.J. Gaines, T.J. Carrie, and Terrance Mitchell, defensive linemen Chris Smith and safety Damarious Randall.
