BEREA, Ohio (WKBN) – The Cleveland Browns have agreed to terms with Vikings’ defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson on a free agent deal.
It is reportedly a four-year contract worth $57 million with $27.5 million guaranteed.
“I’m so grateful for the opportunity to come to Cleveland and have a chance to compete for a championship for one of the greatest fan bases in the NFL, the Dawg Pound,” Tomlinson said. “I can’t wait to get to The Land, put on my orange and brown and start working alongside my new teammates and coaches. You’re going to get everything I have, Cleveland. Let’s go be great.”
Tomlinson, who stands 6-foot-3 and weighs 325 pounds, was originally a second-round pick of the Giants in 2017 out of Alabama.
“I’m excited about Dalvin being a Cleveland Brown,” head coach Kevin Stefanski said. “He’s a smart, tough football player. In addition to being a productive force in the middle of the defense, he’s a high character person. He’s a great teammate and exactly the type of person we want as part of our team.”
In 13 regular-season games with Minnesota, he piled up 42 combined tackles with 2.5 sacks, 10 quarterback hits, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and three tackles for loss.
Over his six-year career, Tomlinson has amassed 288 combined tackles, 13 sacks, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
