The Cleveland Browns signed veteran defensive tackle Malik Jackson on Tuesday.
Multiple reports said it was a one-year deal worth $4.5 million.
Jackson, 31, was released by Philadelphia last week in a salary-shedding move after two seasons with the Eagles. He signed a three-year, $30 million deal with the team in March 2019.
He missed 15 games in 2019 with a foot injury. In 2020, he tallied 28 tackles, 13 quarterback hits and 2.5 sacks in 15 games (six starts).
