Browns Add Offensive Lineman In Free Agency

CLEVELAND — The busy off-season for the Cleveland Browns continued on Friday. The team signed offensive lineman Bryan Witzmann.

The guard stands an imposing 6 feet 7 inches and weighs 320 pounds. He's in his fifth season in the NFL and started seven games for the Chicago Bears last season.

Witzmann came into the league from South Dakota State University. He was signed by the Houston Texans as an undrafted free agent in 2014 and then signed with the Kansas City Chiefs. He was with the Chiefs from 2016-2017.

Browns General Manager John Dorsey once held the same position with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he oversaw the signing of Witzmann. Dorsey has been bringing in a number of players from his Chiefs tenure, most notably controversial running back Kareem Hunt.

Fans on Twitter applauded the unheralded signing of Witzmann. Most fans saw the signing as a depth addition to the front line.
