Getty ImagesBrowns linebacker D’Qwell Jackson won’t be going anywhere.
The Browns have already decided that they’ll place the franchise tag on Jackson if they’re unable to sign him to a long-term contract, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
That’s a sign of just how important Jackson was to the Browns’ defense last season, and that’s an extraordinary accomplishment: In 2009, Jackson suffered a torn left pectoral muscle, causing him to miss the final 10 games of the season, and in training camp in 2010, Jackson suffered a torn right pectoral muscle, causing him to miss the entire season. At that point, people didn’t know if Jackson would be able to make it back in 2012 at all, let alone make it back and be one of the best linebackers in the league.
Jackson came in second to Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford in comeback player of the year voting.

It certainly didn’t hurt that the Browns’ two tackles were routinely double-teamed, giving D’Qwell the opportunity to do his thang…
Dude is a BEAST!
D’Qwell Jackson is soooooo underraed and would be a house-hold name/multiple pro-bowler if he didn’t play for the Browns
Underrated sorry
i guess Tony Romo doesnt exist.
He has a great motor and lots of heart. He is a team player.
Thats good news, glad to hear it.
He ripped both pectoral muscles in consecutive years and came back even stronger. Nothing but respect for this guy. This is someone you build a D around.
A. He’s a Terp
B. He wears 52
Does it really surprise you?
1-1 odds Dawson get’s the tag again if D’qwell signs a deal.
And tamponing will be rampant as well……

Sorry, you’re in the wrong place; the English Football Forum is up the road.
No Tony Romo doesn’t exist. Not when you know Jackson’s story or watched him play.
