The Browns added a little bit of veteran production to the defensive tackle position by agreeing to deal with Maliek Collins.

Maliek Collins was acquired via trade by the 49ers last offseason. After only one season in San Francisco, though, the veteran defensive tackle will be on the move this spring.

By Thursday morning, the Browns agreed to terms with defensive tackle Maliek Collins, who was released earlier in the day by the 49ers after one season. It’s a two-year deal worth up to $20 million.

Though the signing was reported as a two-year agreement, the Browns often use void deals to backload contracts and spread out cap hits. The team entered the week with about $13 million in available cap space, but Myles Garrett’s agreed-upon mega-extension had not yet been officially processed as of Wednesday afternoon.

The new league year has started, which means those players released from their former teams are eligible to sign with new teams.

The Cleveland Browns are beginning to reshape their defensive tackle room by adding free agent Maliek Collins in NFL free agency. Signing to a two-year deal worth $20 million, the Browns are giving Collins $13 million of that in guaranteed money.

The Cleveland Browns have reportedly reached a contract deal with defensive tackle Maliek Collins on Wednesday, according to reports.

Shortly after being released by the 49ers, DT Maliek Collins reached agreement with the Cleveland Browns on a two-year, $20 million deal that includes $13 million fully guaranteed.

Maliek Collins was let go by the 49ers earlier this week. The veteran defensive tackle did not need to wait long
