The Cleveland Browns are bringing in free agent DT Johnathan Hankins for a workout this week, according to Mary Kay Cabot.
This is the first reported interests in Hankins since April when he visited with the Jets.
Hankins previously met with the Redskins and Lions but neither signed him to a contract following the visits.
Hankins, 26, is a former second-round pick of the Giants back in 2013. He played out the final year of his rookie contract last year before signing a three-year, $27 million contract that included $14.5 million guaranteed with the Colts.
Hankins was set to make base salaries of $7.5 million and $8 million over the next two years of the agreement when the Colts released him in a move that cleared $8,468,750 of available cap space.
In 2017, Hankins appeared in 15 games for the Colts and recorded 44 tackles, two sacks, and three pass defenses. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 20 interior defensive lineman out of 122 qualifying players.
We have him featured in our Top 50 Available 2018 NFL Free Agents list.
