The NFL is a business built on player transactions. When one free agent finds a new home, it has a rippling effect on the others. The Cleveland Browns have a need at defensive end but General Manager John Dorsey is not known to expend exorbitant amounts of money in free agency. ESPN's Bill Barnwell explored some free agency scenarios and how it could impact the other free agents.

In one projection, Barnwell speculates that Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekial Ansah could sign a four year deal worth $64 million with the Indianapolis Colts. If that happens, it could set a course for the Browns to sign defensive end Brandon Graham from the Philadelphia Eagles. The deal would be worth $40 million over three years.

"Let's get Myles Garrett some help. The Browns still have reasons to think Emmanuel Ogbah could round into a fine starter, but rotating Ogbah and Graham might make both players more productive. Graham is an excellent two-way edge defender and a logical short-term move for a competitive Browns team," Barnwell wrote.

The 30 year old entered the league as the No. 13 overall selection in the 2010 NFL Draft. He has spent all nine NFL seasons in the city of Brotherly Love. He has recorded 316 tackles, 42.5 sacks, 17 forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries and seven pass deflections in his career during the regular season. Last season, in 16 games, he recorded 39 tackles, four sacks, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and two pass deflections.

It is unclear how the Browns view the future of Ogbah. He had 40 tackles, three sacks, eight pass deflections and a fumble recovery in 14 games. Cleveland did not apply enough pass rush last season. They need to generate more whether it comes from outside linebacker or defensive end. As the season progressed, Garrett and Ogbah played fewer snaps in order to stay fresh.

Ogbah was a second round choice in the 2016 NFL Draft.

Former Browns defensive line coach Clyde Simmons believes that Ogbah has more to show.

“Emmanuel has a bright future ahead of him,’’ he said. “He’s big, he’s long, he’s not as twitchy as Myles, but he’s no slow-poke himself. He’s starting to learn about himself about the length that he has, and if he can learn to use that better, he’s going to be really good," Simmons said via Cleveland.com.

The franchise has in excess of $78 million to spend this off-season, which ranks No. 4 across the league. Financially speaking, they can compete for any free agent on the market this off-season. It is all about the fit. Ogbah and Graham could rotate as Barnwell suggested, which would afford Ogbah a chance to learn from him.
