Cleveland Browns didn't need to make a big flashy signing off the edge of the defensive line because they found one of the best bargains in Ogbonnia Okoronkwo. Okoronkwo was listed as one of the best bargain signings here.

Here's what The Touchdown Wire had to say about the addition:

It’s quite the steal for a player who really came into his own last season, though he had been ascending for a while. The 2018 fifth-round pick of the Los Angeles Rams out of Oklahoma had five sacks, six quarterback hits, and 25 quarterback hurries in just 268 pass-rushing snaps. At 6-foot-2 and 253 pounds, Okoronkwo can also play the run when his ears aren’t pinned back, and he brings everything from a bull rush to one of the wickedest spin moves in the NFL to the table.

This is one of those deals, unheralded at the time, that could pay major dividends down the road. The Browns have an ace signing here.

After Jadeveon Clowney recorded just two sacks for the Browns last year, they had to switch something up opposite of Myles Garrett. So they went out and got Okoronkwo, a pass rusher that has done more than asked with the opportunity he's been given in the NFL. Now, it looks like he's going to have every opportunity to become unleashed off the edge.

Cleveland only paid Okoronkwo $19 million over three seasons. He is just 28 years old so if all goes to plan, don't be surprised if the Browns got a second contract out of the former fifth-round pick.
