The Cleveland Browns have traded cornerback Jason McCourty to the New England Patriots where he will join his twin brother Devin.
The Browns also sent their seventh-round pick to New England, and will receive the Patriot's sixth-round pick.
The Browns originally had announced they were releasing McCourty, but they worked out a trade before the release became official at 4 p.m.
Devin McCourty is a Patriots captain entering his ninth season with the team who has long expressed a desire to play with his brother.
The Patriots had a void at cornerback after Malcolm Butler signed with the Titans in free agency.
