The Cleveland Browns continue to build the defense with free will. On Friday, the Browns signed veteran defense tackle Malik Jackson.
Per Josina AndersonIt’s a one-year $ 4.5 million deal for Jackson to come to Cleveland. Jackson, 31, has played with the Philadelphia Eagles for the past two seasons.
He is a familiar face to Brown’s defensive coordinator Joe Woods. The two were together in Denver in 2015, the last season Jackson played for the Broncos before moving to Jacksonville and then Philadelphia. Jackson made it to the Pro Bowl in 2017 for the Jaguars when he set career highlights in sacks (eight) and forced fumbles (four).
Jackson is a potential replacement for Larry Ogunjobi in the defensive interior. Ogunjobi signed as a free agent with the Cincinnati Bengals.
