The Cleveland Browns have no immediate plans to sign defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins after Wednesday's workout according to Cleveland.com. Instead, the team announced that they are signing defensive lineman Blaine Woodson.

The Browns announced the following in a press release:

"The Cleveland Browns have signed DL Blaine Woodson. Woodson is a 6-2, 295-pound rookie out of Delaware. He was originally signed by San Francisco as an undrafted free agent on May 15 and was waived July 26. He recorded 159 career tackles and 14.5 sacks in college. Woodson is a native of Stroudsburg, Pa."

Hankins has been a disruptive player in his career and interest in him was once high. The fact that the Giants and Colts have parted ways with Hankins in the past two seasons with minimal interest around the league as an unrestricted free agent should raise a red flag. If there are some dark clouds surrounding Hankins, General Manager John Dorsey will have the insight. Colts General Manager Chris Ballard worked under Dorsey with the Kansas City Chiefs a year ago. The two have a good relationship and, if the team has any interest, Dorsey will know what he is getting with Hankins.

Hankins was a second round draft pick out of Ohio State during the 2013 NFL Draft. He spent four seasons with the Giants before moving on last off-season. The Michigan native was a first team All-American in 2012. As a high school recruit, he was rated a 95 by 247Sports. He was considered the nation's No. 4 defensive tackle and the No. 57 player overall. He chose the Buckeyes over offers from Michigan, Alabama, Oklahoma, Michigan State and Florida.

The Browns traded starting defensive tackle Danny Shelton to the New England Patriots this off-season. Jamie Meder and Trevon Coley were labeled as the starters for the first preseason game against the New York Giants but Larry Ogunjobi is in the mix as well. Caleb Brantley, Zaycoven Henderson, Jeremy Faulk and Daniel Ekuale are also on the roster at the position. Coley and Brantley are currently dealing with minor injuries.

Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has been asking Ogunjobi to do some of the nose tackle work that Shelton had done last season. Hankins may be more of a natural fit in that role. He is a thicker, more stout body in the middle of the defense.

Cleveland had the most salary cap space in the NFL entering the day at $52,565,164 according to Spotrac. The team has their second preseason game Friday against the Buffalo Bills. The first week resulted in a victory over the New York Giants.
