Browns Urged to Sign 100-Sack Veteran After Beating Bears

The Cleveland Browns have limited options to help fill the holes left by a bevy of injuries but a veteran name the team could pursue on the defensive line is Carlos Dunlap.

The Browns are expected to lose pass-rusher Ogbo Okoronkwo for the season with a pectoral injury. Okoronkwo did not play on Sunday in a win against the Chicago Bears and is holding out for a second opinion. However, it looks grim for the Browns’ second-leading sack artist.

The 34-year-old Dunlap could help fill the void. He brings with him a resume that includes 100 sacks and 125 career starts. Dunlap was proposed by Bleacher Report as a late-season free agent move for the Browns.

“The injury bug has been particularly harsh to Cleveland this season. Grant Delpit and Ogbonnia Okoronkwo were added to the list of Browns to have serious injuries this season,” Bleacher Report wrote. “That could send the Browns to the free-agent market to make a desperation move to bring in some pass-rushing depth for the final push to the postseason. Carlos Dunlap could be the answer. He played in 17 games last season and registered four sacks with 12 quarterback hits.”
