CLEVELAND — Veteran defensive lineman Larry Ogunjobi and the Cincinnati Bengals have agreed to terms on a deal, according to an ESPN report.

A fan favorite, Ogunjobi released a heartfelt statement on Twitter thanking fans, the organization and the City of Cleveland.
“Just want to thank God first and foremost for an amazing journey over these last 4 years. To see and be apart of this teams turnaround will always hold a special place in my heart. Want to thank my teammates, fans, the entire city of Cleveland, and the Browns organization.”
