Right now, Tashaun Gipson—a 2012 undrafted free agent with 33 career tackles—is Cleveland's free safety. Granted, no one knows just what Gipson is capable of, but it's impossible to truly feel comfortable with him starting.
Conveniently, Kerry Rhodes, who last year started 15 games for Cleveland defensive coordinator Ray Horton, is available. Rhodes started at free safety under Horton for two seasons and is still just 30 years old.
Few will confuse Rhodes for a star safety. He is a good player, though, and it's a bit baffling why he's still available, especially given the Browns' obvious need.
