The Browns will have three new defensive linemen this year. Did you notice?
DT Larry Ogunjobi was allowed to sign elsewhere and took a deal with the Cincinnati Bengals. DE Olivier Vernon wasn’t re-signed, and is currently unemployed. DE Adrian Clayborn was waived March 9. And DT Sheldon Richardson was expected to be back, but was cut the day after Cleveland signed DE Jadeveon Clowney as a key free agent acquisition.
That leaves DE Myles Garrett as the only defensive line starter from the 2020 playoff season. Before free agency and the NFL draft, the only other players on the roster were DE’s Joe Jackson, Curtis Weaver and Cameron Malveaux and DT Andrew Billings.
