The Browns have a great pass rusher with Myles Garrett, but they needed backup by his side. Because Cleveland has suffered enormously against the race in recent months.
This is where Dalvin Tomlinson comes in. NFL Network reports that the imposing defensive tackle arrives at the Browns on a 4-year contract for $57 million, with $27.5 million guaranteed.
The 29-year-old comes out of a year with 42 tackles, 2.5 sacks, 1 forced fumble and 1 covered fumble. All in 13 games in the Vikings jersey. Drafted in the second round by the Giants in 2017, Tomlinson had signed in 2021 with Minnesota. He can adapt to all defensive systems and bring pressure on the quarterback in addition to disrupting the opposing running game.
In short: the Browns hope to have found the solution to what was one of their biggest needs.
