The Cleveland Browns have added multiple offensive linemen in free agency. Cornelius Lucas and Teven Jenkins were both signed after spending the 2024 season elsewhere. With that in mind, Moe Moton of Bleacher Report is urging the Browns to sign another - veteran offensive tackle George Fant.

"Jack Conklin has missed 34 games since 2021," Moton writes. "Dawand Jones has sat out 13 games in two years. The Browns haven't re-signed Jedrick Wills Jr. Their top two offensive tackles have an extensive recent injury history, so they need reliable depth at that position. Fant has 75 career starts with experience on both sides of the line. He can fill in for Conklin or Jones."

Fant started just two games a season ago for the Seattle Seahawks. He appeared in 16 games for the Houston Texans in 2023. At minimum, he would provide good veteran depth who can step in and start. At worse, he is a cut after training camp.
