According to Howard Balzer, the Cleveland Browns brought in 16 free agents for workouts and visits on Tuesday including OT Tony Garcia and DT A.J. Francis.
The full list of tryouts includes:
- LB Jonathan Celestin
- LB Kennan Gilchrist
- LB Nigel Harris
- LB Emmanuel Smith
- OT Anthony Coyle
- OT Tony Garcia
- OT Jylan Ware
- CB Makinton Dorleant
- CB Henre’ Toliver
- DT A.J. Francis
- DT Lance McDowell
- G Sean Harlow
- K Greg Joseph
- WR Roger Lewis
- WR Isaac Whitney
- OT Brad Seaton (Visit)
Of this group, the Browns signed Seaton to their practice squad.
Garcia, 24, was drafted by the Patriots with the No. 85 overall pick in the third round of the 2017 draft after they elected to trade up from No. 96 with the Lions. In total, the Patriots gave up a third- and fourth-round pick for the right to take Garcia.
Unfortunately, Garcia missed his entire rookie season due to blood clots in his lungs and the Patriots elected to waive him with a non-football injury shortly after this year’s draft.
The Jets claimed Garcia, but he was among their final roster cuts coming out of the preseason.
During his four-year college career at Troy, Garcia earned first-team All-Sun Belt honors last season and received an All-Sun Belt honorable mention in 2015.
