The Browns started free agency in a big way on Monday, as reports say the team has signed Atlanta Falcons free agent tight end Austin Hooper to a mega deal.
Cleveland wasted little time in making him the highest paid right end in the game, as Hooper told ESPN’s Vaughn McClure the deal is worth $44 million, with $23 million guaranteed.
The 25-year-old became a weapon in the Falcons offense last season, pulling in 75 catches for 787 yards and six touchdowns.
“It definitely feels good to know that there’s interest out there for me,” Hooper told ESPN Sunday.
