Linebacker D'Qwell Jackson could be back with the Browns in 2011. The Browns extended him a second-round tender offer.CLEVELAND -- The Browns signed linebacker D'Qwell Jackson to a one-year deal worth up to about $4.5 million, a league source told the Plain Dealer.
It's an incentive-laden contract that enables Jackson to make more money based on things such as playing time and production. The incentives are regarded as likely to be reached if he can stay healthy.
Jackson, a sixth-year pro, has missed most of the past two seasons with two torn pectoral tendons that required surgery.
Last week at the NFL Combine, Browns general manager Tom Heckert said he thought Jackson would fit better in the Browns' new 3-4 defense because of his ideal size (6-0, 240) for an inside 'backer in the scheme.
Jackson, the Browns second-round pick in 2006, led the league with 188 tackles in 2008.
