NFL insider Aaron Wilson reported on Monday that the Browns are signing Toronto Argonauts defensive tackle Ralph Holley. The standout defender from the Canadian Football League reportedly had multiple NFL offers but chose to sign with Cleveland.

Wilson added that Holley missed some time with an injury recently but still led all interior linemen in the CFL with eight sacks. Now that he is fully healthy, Holley was one of the most sought-after CFL free agents.

Holley played collegiate football at Western Michigan, appearing in 50 games and putting up 45.5 tackles for loss and 20.5 sacks. After going undrafted in the 2022 NFL Draft, the six-foot-one defensive tackle found his way to the CFL, where he has been thriving in the past two seasons. In his most recent season, he helped the Argonauts to the Grey Cup after starting in all three postseason games.Signing this early in the offseason gives Holley extra time to familiarize himself with the team and potentially get in some work with his teammates before reporting to training camp. He will join a group of defensive tackles that includes Dalvin Tomlinson, Shelby Harris, recent draft pick Mike Hall Jr., and pending free agent Maurice Hurst

With MULTIPLE NFL offers, why on earth did he sign with us?  Did we give him a fully guaranteed contract or somethin'?  

As you said, free agency will probably tip us off to what direction the Browns will go in the draft.  The IDL/DTs look like one of our most solid units right now.  Sooooo, that might lessen the temptation for Ma son Graham especially if the Browns stay put at #2.  Keep in mind, they just used their highest pick in last year's draft Mike Hall Jr.  Unfortunately, the last time we saw him - he was getting carted off the field with what looked to be a serious injury...
