The Cleveland Browns have reportedly agreed to terms with veteran cornerback/special teamer Tony Brown on a 1-year deal.
Brown entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Alabama in 2018 and has been an asset as a special teamer and “emergency” cornerback throughout his 5-year career so far.
He’s known for his Olympic-level speed and acceleration as a boundary player on kick and punt return units, as well as being able to provide an adequate level of play as a depth piece in the secondary.
Mike Ford became a free agent and signed a 2-year deal with the Houston Texans so the Browns felt the need to find a replacement early on in the free agency process.
