It didn’t take long for Kevin Stefanski’s prophecy to come true. Cleveland’s head coach said earlier this weekend that the team was looking to sign more offensive line talent to fill in the gap left by three players opting out. On Sunday, the team made it a reality.
The Browns have signed free agent offensive lineman Michael Dunn. Terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed.
Dunn last played in the XFL in March. He was the starting right guard for the Seattle Dragons. The 6-5, 315-pound Maryland product does have NFL experience, playing on the practice squads for the Rams (in 2017) and Jaguars (2018) as well as preseason of 2019 with the Miami Dolphins. Dunn also played in the AAF.
He has the ability to fill in at both guard and tackle, effectively filling the role left open when Drew Forbes opted out.
To make room for Dunn on the team’s 80-man roster, the Browns waived undrafted rookie TE Nate Wieting.
