Joe Schobert, Damarious Randall, Rashard Higgins ponder what may be their last home game with Browns

Joe Schobert’s wife, Megan, recently reminded the Browns linebacker about the harsh reality he faces.

Sunday’s home finale against the AFC North champion Baltimore Ravens (12-2) could be the last time Schobert plays in Cleveland as a member of the Browns (6-8).

“It was a little shocking,” said Schobert, whom former Browns head of football operations Sashi Brown drafted in the fourth round in 2016. “If you think of this kind of like a college career — I’ve been here for four years — it’s my senior year.

“Hopefully things work out, and I can be a super senior and continue to stick around and play the days out here in Cleveland. But the NFL is a business. It does business things.”

Schobert, free safety Damarious Randall and wide receiver Rashard Higgins are the most popular Browns players among those scheduled to become unrestricted free agents March 18.

Based on how their contract years have unfolded, Schobert, a 26-year-old Pro Bowl alternate, would be the likeliest of the trio to receive an extension from the Browns, but that might not mean much because as of Friday he said he still hadn’t heard an offer.

Randall, 27, said there had been no recent talks between his camp and the club.

“I don’t rule out nothing,” he said. “At the end of the day, I don’t think you let good players walk, but, hey, to each his own.

“I don’t care if I play on the moon, bro. I just love the game of football, and I’m going to play it wherever I’m at. Hopefully I’m here, but I’m going to play it wherever I’m at.”

Randall fancies himself a good player — at minimum — despite his less-than-ideal season. He sat out two games in concussion protocol (he disagreed with the team about whether he had a concussion) and two more with a hamstring injury before coach Freddie Kitchens prohibited him from traveling for a 20-13 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Dec. 1 due to an undisclosed disciplinary reason.

Asked whether he’s on good terms with the coaching staff after being benched, Randall said, “I don’t have a problem with nobody in the building.”

Acquired last year by General Manager John Dorsey in a trade with Green Bay, Randall explained he’s frustrated with missing games, not his performance.

“I’ve been playing up to the level, and I know people are going to say otherwise because I don’t have all the interceptions,” said Randall, who has 48 tackles, two sacks, four passes defensed and no interceptions in nine games. “But people haven’t targeted me. People haven’t targeted the middle of the field. I can’t help that quarterbacks understand who I am now and they don’t want to throw it near me.”

Higgins can’t get the ball, either. He can’t even get on the field. He’s no longer the No. 3 receiver, falling behind Damion Ratley and KhaDarel Hodge and logging zero snaps on offense and one on special teams in each of the past two games.

“I definitely haven’t given up faith,” said Higgins, who has four catches for 55 yards and a touchdown in nine games. “It’s tough on me, and I’ve just got to keep my head up.”

Higgins, 25, declined to discuss the reason behind his demotion. However, it’s clear his relationship with Kitchens has been prickly since they publicly disagreed over when Higgins was healthy enough to return from a sprained medial collateral ligament earlier this season.

Regardless, Higgins remains a fan favorite.

“The fans are wonderful,” he said. “A lot of people say they’re the best in the world, and I kind of feel like that, too. They’ve been a big supporting cast for me … just because what I’ve been through and them feeling my story, how I became who I am today, me getting cut [in 2017], still working hard and making the squad, being somebody that wants to be here.”

Yet remaining here seems like a long shot.

“You never know,” said Higgins, whom Brown drafted in the fifth round in 2016.

Among the reasons a player would want to stay?

“Obviously, we had higher expectations this year,” said Schobert, who has 116 tackles, two sacks, nine passes defensed, four interceptions, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 14 games. “But this place, this city is ready to take off around this football team.”
