Will not be tendered
The Browns will not tender McDowell as an exclusive-rights free agent because of an arrest in January, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
McDowell was arrested on three charges in Florida, which triggered Cleveland's decision to move on from the 25-year-old defensive tackle. The Browns began to revamp the interior of their defensive line when they agreed to terms with Taven Bryan. McDowell and Malik Jackson served as the starting defensive tackles in 2021, but neither is expected to return this coming season.

The Seahawks traded down in the draft a couple times to pick McDowell in the second round, 35th overall. No one questions his skills as an interior pass rusher, but plenty questioned his motor coming out of Michigan State. The Seahawks were satisfied he wouldn't let them down, but he didn't even make it to the field before he became a problem. McDowell was involved in an ATV accident this offseason and might not play this year, as his recovery figures to be lengthy. It looks as if whatever the Seahawks get out of him this season will be gravy.
