Browns sign Benton Whitley as defensive end competition increases

The Cleveland Browns signed Benton Whitley to their roster as they prepare for mandatory minicamp next week. This move comes after a recent trade that sent Myles Garrett to the Rams for Jared Verse and draft picks. Whitley, originally signed by the Rams in 2022, has mostly been on practice squads, logging only 16 defensive snaps in his career. The addition of Whitley adds depth and competition in the defensive end room following Garrett's departure. The Browns will hold their final on-field activities before training camp during the minicamp.
