Kendricks is signing a one-year deal with the Seahawks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Schefter, Kendricks is expected to play Monday night against the Bears. The seventh-year linebacker was released by the Browns in late August after being charged with insider trading. According Brady Henderson of ESPN.com, Kendricks is not scheduled to receive sentencing for his crime until Jan. 24, leaving a sizable window for him to contribute to Seattle's defense.

Kendricks has been released by the Browns, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kendricks' dismissal from Cleveland is likely the least of his concerns at the moment considering the linebacker was charged with insider trading earlier Tuesday. In his wake, the Browns still have an above-average linebacking corps consisting of Jamie Collins, Joe Schobert and Christian Kerskey, but the depth behind them is admittedly questionable without Kendricks in the fold.

Kendricks is facing charges for insider trading, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kendricks released a statement saying he was misled by a former friend four years ago, but he also acknowledges that he knew he was doing something wrong, and he intends to repay all the funds gained illegally. The NFL likely will review the situation under its personal conduct policy, without much precedent for this type of situation. Signed to a one-year contract this offseason, Kendricks is expected to fill a key backup role as part of Cleveland's deep linebacker group.

Kendricks (ankle) was back on the field Thursday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kendricks -- who underwent offseason ankle surgery -- looks to be back at full health after sitting out minicamp. Signed as a free agent after spending the last six seasons in Philadelpha, the outside linebacker will see work behind Christian Kirksey.

Kendricks (ankle) did not participate in mandatory minicamp but head coach Hue Jackson expects the linebacker to be on the field for training camp, Pat McManamon of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kendricks is likely in recovery from March ankle surgery, so his absence for minicamp was likely expected even before Kendricks signed with Cleveland this past April. When healthy, Kendricks will play a key role in a strong Browns linebacking corps that otherwise includes Christian Kirksey and Jamie Collins at OLB.

Kendricks has agreed to terms on a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the Browns, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kendricks was earlier rumored to have inked a deal with Cleveland, but ardently denied these murmurs when questioned. As it turns out, the seventh-year linebacker will end up with the Browns anyways and will reportedly start. The team already boasts a strong linebacker corps with Jamie Collins, Joe Schobert and Christian Kirksey, so it will be interesting to see how Kendricks fits into defensive coordinator Gregg Williams' scheme in 2018.

Kendricks (ankle) signed a one-year contract with the Browns on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kendricks has spent his entire career in Philadelphia and is coming off a 2017 campaign where he tallied 77 tackles and two sacks across 15 games. He was released this offseason to clear some cap space, however, and now joins Cleveland in what should be a very talented linebacking corps that already includes the likes of Jamie Collins, Joe Schobert and Christian Kirksey. As a result of the already impressive group, Kendricks could have trouble matching his production from last season in Philadelphia.

Kendricks (ankle) was released by the Eagles on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
After the Eagles have tried to trade away Kendricks each of the last two offseasons, the club has officially elected to just let the linebacker go in what appears to be a move to create additional cap space. Kendricks likely won't be out of work long, as he would be a valuable piece of any team's defensive front after posting 77 total tackles and two sacks in 2017.

Brandon Brooks restructuring his contract may mean the Eagles keep Kendricks rather than trade or release him, Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The team could save $4.4 million in cap space getting rid of the 27-year-old, and after the signings of Corey Nelson and Paul Worrilow, it seemed Kendricks was likely on his way out of town. However, the Brooks restructuring means the six-year vet doesn't necessarily need to be moved, and whether he stays or goes now is more likely to depend on if the Eagles draft another linebacker. Following a lackluster 2016, Kendricks rebounded last season with 77 tackles (55 solo) and two sacks. He may find it difficult to repeat those numbers if he stays in Philadelphia given the current stable of linebackers currently on the roster.
