Browns add a fighter in defensive tackle Devaroe Lawrence

It was lost a bit in the initial roster cutdown on Saturday, but the Cleveland Browns made an interesting move to bolster the defensive line.

The club moved a seventh-round selection in the 2019 NFL Draft to the New Orleans Saints in exchange for defensive tackle Devaroe Lawrence, who has taken quite an interesting journey to the NFL.

We’ve also acquired DL Devaroe Lawrence from the Saints in exchange for a 2019 seventh-round pick.

Lawrence, an undrafted free agent out of Auburn, spent his rookie season in 2017 rehabbing from a torn ACL that required a pair of surgeries.
