PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (WKBN) – NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero is reporting that former Cleveland Browns pass rusher is signing a free agent deal with the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. The Browns terminated Okoronkwo’s contract in June.

The Cleveland Browns had an unexpectedly open roster spot. Last week, defensive end Elerson Smith retired in a surprise at age 27. On Wednesday, the Browns filled the opening. They claimed defensive end K.J. Henry off waivers from the Philadelphia Eagles, according to The Athletic's Zac Jackson.

In an article predicting how the upcoming NFL season would unfold, Touchdown Wire's Jarrett Bailey hypothesized a trade between the Browns and the Philadelphia Eagles. While the exact package was not specified, Bailey predicted that Cleveland would send tight end David Njoku to the Super Bowl Champions.
