The Browns on Saturday acquired veteran Pro Bowl punter Andy Lee in a trade with the San Francisco 49ers.
In exchange for Lee, the Browns will send an undisclosed draft pick to the 49ers. Punter Spencer Lanning was waived to make room for Lee on the 90-man roster.
“We’ve said all along that we are going to be deliberate in our pursuit to acquire talent that we feel can improve our roster,” Browns general manager Ray Farmer said. “Andy Lee has consistently been a top punter in this league. We are excited to be able to add a punter of his caliber to our team.
