The Browns are welcoming free agent Anthony Walker’s linebacker for a visit on Thursday, reports Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Cleveland has been looking to improve its defense after winning its first playoff game since 1994 and Walker may be suitable for the second round.

Indianapolis chose Walker in the fifth round of the 2017 draft. He has been a starter at the club for three years, averaging 107 tackles out of the 2018-2020 total. Walker also recorded three career interceptions – one of which came out of the Browns’ quarterback, Baker Mayfield, last season.

Walker is number 83 on the PFT’s list of the 100 best free agents.

The Browns have already added safety John Johnson III and edge rusher Takk McKinley to the free agency, while maintaining linebacker Malcolm Smith.
