The Cleveland Browns are going to need to reboot their defensive line this offseason around Myles Garrett and San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle D.J. Jones is a name the team should be looking at, according to Pro Football Focus. The Browns will likely be looking for at least two new starters on the defensive line, with veteran Malik Jackson set to be a 32-year-old free agent and Malik McDowell — the surprise of last season — now in some hot water legally after a naked encounter with police. While Garrett was an All-Pro and veteran Jadeveon Clowney stood out with a bounce-back year at the other end spot.
