Browns signing former Vikings DT Dalvin Tomlinson to four-year, $57M contract
https://www.nfl.com/news/browns-signing-former-vikings-dt-dalvin-tomlinson-to-four-year-57m-contract
The Cleveland Browns are bringing in a big body up front for big money.
Cleveland is expected to sign former Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson to a four-year, $57 million deal with $27.5 million guaranteed, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday night.
You just beat me to that :
The Minnesota Vikings had moved back the date that defensive end Dalvin Tomlinson’s contract voids to March 15th in hopes of re-signing him to a long-term deal. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, that won’t be happening as Tomlinson has agreed to a four-year deal with the Cleveland Browns.
The deal is worth $14.25 million average annual value with $27.5 million guaranteed. This is the second time that Tomlinson has been able to cash in during free agency after signing a two year, $21 million deal with the Vikings in 2021.
The Vikings now have lost one of their two defensive lineman free agents with the other being Jonathan Bullard. Don’t be surprised if he followes Vic Fangio to Miami.

Interesting thing I found after the headline referred to him as a DT but the article mentioned him as a DE - Lindy's Pro Football Preview in 2021 listed him as a DT for the Vikings at 319 lbs. Heading into 2022, we was listed as a DE at 327 lbs. If true, I'll bet Schwartz will be happy to welcome this type of flexibility into his front.

Great call and great pickup. Recall his days in NYG.
Plays with great leverage and has those quick hands- wrestling background of course. I believe he was a three time state wrestling champ in HS.

He actually played 1 Technique with the Giants. I think primarily 3 Technique with the Vikes

Wonder what sort of $ Poona Ford is looking for.... ?
edit: As an aside, I'm shocked the Browns didn't make a stronger push for Greg Gaines. Younger, likely a pinch cheaper than DT and still fits a mold this defense needs.
With this front office, I know age is a big factor and at 26, I just figured the natural fit would invite pursuit.
double edit: And to be clear, as much as I enjoy the Tomlinson signing, he's going to be 30 after next season. So you're looking at a 3 year deal around $28mil in all reality.

Who knows? Maybe Gaines was of interest, but we got a cool reception by his agent. Maybe that was a way of saying his guy didn't want to play here, or a signal he was going to play one team against the other in salary talks?
As for age, I don't think a year makes much difference when you are talking about guys going for a 2nd, or maybe it is 3rd contract. He is still inside the window for a DT. As for anything longer, I never really look for that outside of drafted rookies. If the guy is still stout enough, maybe we extend him for a few more years, but as you say, I wouldn't count on it. In todays NFL landscape, it's hard to project anybody out much more than 4 years.

I think what sets him apart is that his initials correlate with his position. He's a natural fit. It's aphabetycs...which is a spinoff of analytics.

We need a Mike unless you want to roll it back with Walker Jr… He’s played 16 of the last 34 games.
Phillips is a special teams guy. Is Deion Jones a scheme fit? it has been said that Schwartz likes his backers on the bigger side.
Jack Campbell Iowa is intriguing

He did a fairly good job

Jack Campbell Iowa is intriguing
At his introductory presser Schwartz said he doesn't want LB'ers much over 250 lbs.

that seems bigger than the usual or the trend is lighter than that lately.
Jones is listed at couple slices of pizza over 220.
Campbell is 250.
Walker like you said did a decent job but can he be available

Not that we have had many good ones heck even decent ones…but Brissett might be my favorite Browns QB of the new era Browns.
Hate to see him go but he needs a better opportunity

Looks like the Browns have replaced John Johnson III at safety.
WR in the 2nd round really seems like a good fit.

It will be interesting to see what the Browns do at backup QB.
Any decent vet QBs out there?

WR is pretty deep this year.. unless JSN or Zay Flowers somehow fall I doubt anything other than DT is likely at 2. Still need dt2 and dt3 if Winfrey is dt4.
Downs at the comp pick or rd4 would be solid as WR3.
