Orchard was a second-round pick by Cleveland in 2015 but has yet to live up to his high draft selection.

• The Minnesota Vikings signed guard Dakota Dozier, adding more depth at a position in flux.

The 6-foot-4, 313-pound Dozier started two games last season for the Jets, playing under current Vikings offensive line coach and running game coordinator Rick Dennison. He could compete with Danny Isidora and Brett Jones for the left guard spot.
