Browns sign Ethan Pocic

  The Cleveland Browns don't have a lot of money to spend currently or at least until they can find someone willing to take Baker Mayfield for eighteen and a half million dollars.

However, the Browns still have holes to fill and Cleveland signed center Ethan Pocic to a one-year contract for an undisclosed amount.

Pocic was Seattle's second-round draft selection from LSU in 2017 and started ten games for the Seahawks last season, playing in thirteen games.

Pocic started forty games in his Seattle tenure and is reported to be better as a run blocker than a pass protector,

At 6'6 320 pounds, it is easy to see what Pocic could add to the offensive line should he start but the Browns announcement seems to lean towards Pocic, who started at Seattle, as the backup to Nick Harris, who backed up J.C. Tretter before Tretter was released at the start of free agency.

I'm a little surprised that Pocic isn't at least being announced as dueling with Harris for the center position but Harris has been thought of highly by the team since they drafted him in the fifth round in 2020 from Washington.

Pocic at best would win the starting job and at worst would be a quality backup in the event of an injury to Nick Harris.
