The New England Patriots are set to sign linebacker Jabaal Sheard on a two-year deal, according to reports.
The 25-year-old has seen his role reduced in the last two seasons with the Cleveland Browns, and he started just five games last year.
NFL Media reports that Sheard's two-year contract with the Super Bowl champions is worth £7.4m, with £3.7m guaranteed.
Sheard earned 15.5 sacks in his first two years in the NFL, but he got just two last season.
