### Former Browns Tackle Jedrick Wills Contemplating Sitting Out 2025 Season Due to Injury

In a significant development for the Cleveland Browns, former first-round draft pick and left tackle Jedrick Wills is reportedly considering taking a hiatus for the entire 2025 season. Last season, Wills battled a persistent knee injury, and according to insider Jordan Schultz, the free agent offensive tackle is planning to sit out most—or possibly all—of the upcoming season to fully recover and regain his form.

Despite this, interest from multiple teams has been noted, but the state of Wills' knee likely hampers negotiations for substantial guaranteed money. The former top 10 pick for the Browns is in a precarious position; if Wills himself doubts his readiness to play, he might choose to avoid another debilitating injury that could end his NFL career prematurely.

However, this decision to pause his career carries its own risks, primarily because Wills has yet to meet the lofty expectations set by his draft status. While stepping away from the game could allow him ample time to rehabilitate his knee, it might also impact his professional trajectory and market value as a player.

Cleveland, on the other hand, is gearing up for the 2025 season with hopes pinned on Dawand Jones, a second-round pick, to fill the void left by Wills. Unfortunately, Jones has had his fair share of injury problems, making the Browns' offensive line situation uncertain.

As the Browns navigate this transitional period, the football community will be watching to see if Wills' choice to prioritize his health will ultimately be a wise one. The team's fans and management alike hope for success and stability in the upcoming season.
