Browns swap UDFA defenders, bring back George Obinna and cut Jeffery Whatley

Obinna is back after being cut on July 31st

The Cleveland Browns made a move at the bottom of the 80-man active roster, swapping back in one undrafted rookie free agent for another.

The Browns brought back defensive end George Obinna, who was part of the team’s initial UDFA class but was waived on July 31st. To make room for the 6-2, 245-pound pass rusher, the team waived another UDFA, DT Jeffery Whatley.

Obinna returns with a chance to make a name for himself when the team goes into full padded practice on Monday, August 17th. He holds the Sacramento State school record for sacks and was a two-time All-Big Sky performer. His size offers some ability to possibly transition to more of an outside LB pass rush specialist.
