Browns Add to Free Agent Haul With Former Commanders OL

The Cleveland Browns are bringing in some offensive line depth, adding former Washington Commanders guard Wes Martin.

Martin signing with Cleveland was first reported by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.

Martin is an Ohio native and comes home to play for the Browns after stints with the Commanders and New York Giants. He was originally a fourth-round pick of Washington in 2019 out of Indiana. Martin has some starting experience on his resume, getting the nod 11 times in 38 career games.

Martin is expected to sign a one-year deal later next week. He’ll supply some depth behind Wyatt Teller and Joel Bitonio, which was needed after Hjalte Froholdt departed for the Cardinals. Froholdt started six games last season for the Browns.

The Browns starting unit is set, with all the key pieces locked up. A big move for the Browns this offseason was retaining center Ethan Pocic, who was a free agent. Pocic inked a 3-year, $18 million contract after stepping up when his number was called for 13 starts last season.
