Joining Cleveland backfield
Hines (knee) is slated to sign a one-year deal with the Browns, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The report indicates that Hines' deal is worth up to $3.5 million. The 27-year-old is attempting to bounce back from a left ACL injury that he sustained last July and which cost him the entire 2023 season. When healthy, Hines should provide the Browns backfield with an experienced pass-catching/change-of-pace option while also adding utility as a kick returner.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be roster casualty
Hines isn't guaranteed to be on the Bills' roster by the end of training camp, Ryan O'Halloran of The Buffalo News reports.
ANALYSIS
The running back was mainly limited to return duties after being acquired from the Colts last season, and while he was effective in that role, Hines might need to prove he's worthy of a larger share of the offensive game plan to stay in Buffalo. James Cook and Damien Harris seem locked into the top two jobs in the backfield, though, and the coaching staff prefers having a fullback on the roster in Reggie Gilliam, further crowding the RB picture. Deonte Harty, an offseason signee at wide receiver, also has extensive return experience, putting additional pressure on Hines to justify his spot.

2018
Between seven games with the Colts and nine with the Bills in 2022, Hines rushed 24 times for 33 yards and a TD while posting a 30-241-1 receiving line. The running back made a bigger mark in the return game, handling 16 punts (9.6 yards per return) and 19 kickoffs (29.2 yards per return), including two TDs. Hines averaged 52.5 catches with Indianapolis his first four years in the NFL, so even though he only caught five passes for Buffalo last year, he has the ability to produce in that role (along with his special teams duties) if given the opportunity. Unfortunately, Hines was injured this summer in an off-field accident and will miss the 2023 season.
