Browns get Collins in trade with Patriots

The Cleveland Browns acquired linebacker Jamie Collins from New England on Monday, one day before the NFL’s trade deadline. A secondround draft pick in 2013, Collins has been one of the Patriots’ better defensive players for just over three seasons, but his rookie contract ends after this season. The Patriots will get a conditional third-round selection. The six-foot-three, 250-pound Collins missed one game this season with a hip injury. He has 43 combined tackles and two interceptions.
