According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Cleveland Browns are hosting free agent defensive end for a visit on Friday or Saturday:
Former #Falcons DE Derrick Shelby spent the day in Seattle visiting the #Seahawks, source said. Now he’s heading to visit the #Browns. Work before free agency begins.

Shelby was an undrafted free agent in 2012. He played the first four years of his career with the Miami Dolphins, mostly as a rotational player. He signed a 4-year, $18 million deal with the Atlanta Falcons in 2016. This past season, he started a career-high 14 games, finishing the season with 30 tackles and 1 sack. He was released last week so Atlanta could clear some cap space.
In late-November of last year, PFF had credited Shelby as being one of the top edge run-stuffers in the NFL:
