Was Sheldon Richardson’s deal a bad contract for the Cleveland Browns?

Following their moves this offseason, including signing defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson, the Cleveland Browns have built a strong starting defensive front.

With Myles Garrett, Richardson, Larry Ogunjobi, and Olivier Vernon, Cleveland’s defensive line is expected to play a huge role in turning around the defense after the unit struggled in 2018.

Entering this offseason, building up the defensive line was the biggest need for the Browns. And it didn’t take long for Cleveland to address that need, trading for Vernon and agreeing to a deal with Richardson before the new league year opened in March.
