Takkarist McKinley should be claimed by the Cleveland Browns

The Cleveland Browns should put in a claim for disgruntled defensive end Takk McKinley, now that he has apparently aroused the ire of the Atlanta Falcons to the point that they no longer want him.

McKinley was a first-round draft pick in 2017, and the Falcons have elected not to pick up his fifth-year option meaning that he will be free to sign with any NFL team for the 2021 season.
