Free-agent defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson intends to sign with the Cleveland Browns at the start of the signing period on Wednesday, reports ESPN.com's Adam Schefter.
According to the report, Richardson is expected to receive a three-year deal.
The Browns continued their active offseason in attempts to break a 16–year playoff drought.
The team has already acquired defensive end Olivier Vernon and a 2019 fourth-round pick from the New York Giants in exchange for right guard Kevin Zeitler and a fifth-round pick in this year's draft as well as signing running back Kareem Hunt.
Richardson is expected to part of a defensive line rotation that features Myles Garrett, Emmanuel Ogbah and Larry Ogunjobi.
