Insider: Browns Should Go After This Notable Defender In Free Agency

Although the Cleveland Browns boast one of the league’s greatest defence, we all know that there is always room for improvement.

In light of this, the team might try to fill their need for an interior defender, and one of the top players in the league might become available very quickly.

Christian Wilkins, a great defensive tackle for the Miami Dolphins, has generated a lot of discussion on his future with the team.

In light of this, Tony Rizzo of ESPN Cleveland questioned Tony Grossi about the team’s ability to pursue him. The insider verified that this is the guy the organisation should and could seek at this time.

Given that he and Deshaun Watson share an agent, it is clear that both parties had engaged in prior negotiations.

Our premier interior defender may not be available at all since the Dolphins are rumoured to have placed him under the franchise tag, but in the past, players have repeatedly refused to play under those terms.

In 2019, the 28-year-old, who had won two national championships at Clemson, was selected by the Dolphins in the first round.

He’s played in 81 games in his career so far, recording 355 stops, 43 stops for a loss, 20.5 sacks, 19 passes defensed, 4 forced fumbles, 6 fumble recoveries, 1 interception, and 50 quarterback hits.

The Dolphins are around $50 million above the salary cap, so they might not be able to afford to keep him, even if he just finished a career-best season with 23 QB hits and nine sacks.

The Browns will undoubtedly wish for it to occur.
