Mingo was a star at LSU, but he has been a disappointment with the Browns. He appeared in all 16 games last season but recorded just 24 total tackles and no sacks. His sack totals have decreased each season since he had five his rookie year.
It’s unclear what the Patriots are sending to Cleveland, though it can’t be much. Mingo’s stock has plummeted at this point, and he may have to fight for a final roster spot in New England. In other news, Harry Potter is probably a Patriots fan now.
