00:00 The Browns have made a highly anticipated signing
00:02 at defensive tackle in signing Shelby Harris.
00:05 Harris played for the Seahawks last season
00:07 and had some success there,
00:09 recording two sacks and 24 solo tackles.
00:12 Since the start of his career back in 2014,
00:15 when he was taken in the seventh round of the draft,
00:18 he has recorded a total of 24 1/2 sacks
00:21 and 40 tackles for loss.
00:24 He signed a one-year deal with the Browns
00:25 that will be worth up to $5.25 million.
00:28 After injuries to both Alex Wright and Isaiah Thomas
00:32 and Perrion Winfrey's release from the team,
00:34 it became abundantly clear
00:36 that the team was going to have to do something
00:38 at defensive tackle before the season started.
00:41 There was just not enough depth there to rely on,
00:43 and one more injury would seriously set back this group.
00:47 The Browns will now have Dalvin Tomlinson
00:49 and Shelby Harris most likely starting at defensive tackle,
00:52 so it will be a completely different look for this team.
00:56 Harris visited with the Browns on July 31st,
00:59 and he left without signing a deal
01:00 as he wanted to look at his other options.
01:03 It's really promising that he liked what he saw
01:05 with the Browns and with Jim Schwartz
01:08 and decided that this is where he wanted to be.
01:10 Although the Browns' depth at defensive tackle
01:13 is still fairly young,
01:15 Schwartz has to be very pleased with the starters
01:18 that he has on his defensive line now.
01:20 Miles Garrett, Zedaria Smith, Shelby Harris,
01:23 and Dalvin Tomlinson,
01:25 all veterans that will ensure the narrative
01:27 that surrounded the Browns' 2022 defense
01:30 will no longer be a reality in 2023.
