The Cleveland Browns signed defensive tackle Randy Starks to a two-year deal worth $8 million, according to several reports Monday.

Starks, 31, was released last Wednesday by the Miami Dolphins, clearing room for Ndamukong Suh and his $114 million contract.

Starks was consistent and productive for the Dolphins in his seven-year stay, offering pressure from the interior. He has 17.5 sacks and three interceptions over the past four seasons.

The Browns run a 3-4 scheme under coach Mike Pettine and coordinator Jim O’Neil, so Starks seems likely to push Billy Winn or Desmond Bryant for time at end.
