Browns sign Bama tackle Jedrick Wills, team's first-round pick

CLEVELAND -- Jedrick Wills has slid into place for the Browns.

The former Alabama star right tackle, who will attempt to slide over to the left side for Cleveland, signed his four-year, $19.7 million contract on Tuesday, two weeks before he's scheduled to report to his first NFL training camp. The deal includes an $11.9 million signing bonus.

The Browns selected Wills with the No. 10 overall pick in April's draft, which boasted an elite class of tackles.

Cleveland has plugged the vital position the past two seasons with stop-gap measures following perennial All-Pro Joe Thomas' retirement after the 2018 season.
