Browns LB Maiava signs 4-year deal

LB Kaluka Maiava has agreed to a four-year deal reportedly worth close to $2.5 million, according to Scout.com.

Maiava, a rookie linebacker from Southern Cal, impressed coach Eric Mangini as a tough guy when he told Mangini he likes to hunt wild boar. His weapon of choice: a knife. He says hunters that use a gun cheat.

"I use a knife and stick them a couple times," Maiava said in May. "I take my dogs with me."

Maiava has been hunting boar since he was 15. He said he has never been gored, but he has lost a couple dogs. Now that he is in the NFL, though, he will have to put boar hunting on hold. Some hobbies such as motorcycle riding and skydiving are forbidden in NFL contracts. Boar hunting can be added to the list.
