The free agent acquisition of defensive tackle Andrew Billings was a smart move by the Cleveland Browns. Billings was added via one-year deal for only $3.5 million guaranteed, and the former Cincinnati Bengal could be of plenty of use as a run defender.
Billings was a piece the Bengals were able to rely on as an interior run defender for three years, including this past season, of which he started 14 games and made 35 tackles. That was a career-best to this point for him, and he also had four tackles for loss.
Billings has shown the ability at 310 pounds to occupy multiple blockers in the run game.
