Cleveland Browns are not done with the free-agent market just yet. The team reportedly signed former Atlanta Falcons defensive end Adrian Clayborn.
According to NFL Networks’ Ian Rapoport, Clayborn inked a two-year deal, which will bring him $6 million in salary. The 31-year-old can make an additional $1 million in incentives.
Clayborn played 15 games (one start) with Falcons in 2019, contributing with 18 tackles, 4.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles.
Browns were reportedly in a market for a veteran pass rusher for some time now, hoping to add help to their Pro Bowler Myles Garrett. Adrian Clayborn fits the description, as he has a reputation of being a reliable player capable of making some big plays.
Clayborn, who was a first-round pick in 2011, also played with Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New England Patriots over the course of his NFL career. He has 196 tackles, 36.5 sacks, and 10 forced fumbles in 110 games he played in the league.
Cleveland made several significant additions this offseason via the free agency market. They signed nine new players, including inking Pro Bowler Austin Hooper to a four-year, $44 million deal and offensive tackle Jack Conklin to a three-year, $42 million contract.
