Browns Lose Defensive Tackle Shelby Harris to Giants

0:00On April 29th, Cleveland Browns keep bleeding talent on defense during this NFL free agency window. Just after cornerback Martin Emerson Jr. signed with the New Orleans Saints, defensive tackles Shelby Harris is now heading to the New York Giants. Free agency heated up again right after the 2026 draft, with teams shuffling rosters ahead of rookie minicamps and OTAs. The Browns did snack fullback Michael Burton to bolster their backfield, but losing these key defenders stings. Harris spent three solid seasons in Cleveland, suiting up for 48 games with 25 starts. He racked up 97 tackles, 18 tackles for loss, 13 quarterback hits, and four sacks, proving reliable up front. Now entering his 12th NFL season, Harris turns 35 in August, bringing veteran Savvy to the Giants line. Fans might best remember him for that epic high five with Miles Garrett after Garrett smashed the single season sack record. As the Browns gear up for minicamp, they'll need to plug these gaps fast to stay competitive, watch how they rebound in the coming weeks.
