Browns will sign Bengals DT Andrew Billings

The Cleveland Browns continue to bolster the defensive front. Per his agent via NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport, the Browns have agreed to sign former Bengals defensive tackle Andrew Billings as a free agent.

Billings, who turned 25 earlier this month, played his entire 4-year career with the Bengals. He was a fourth-round pick out of Baylor in 2016 but missed his rookie season with a knee injury. It was that same knee that caused him to drop in the 2016 NFL Draft, where he had been widely projected as a top-50 pick.

Billings started 30 games in the last two seasons in Cincinnati. He’s a nose tackle by trade, though he did manage 2.5 sacks in 2018.

Details of the agreement are not yet available.
