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