BEREA, Ohio — Defensive lineman Desmond Bryant and the Browns have agreed to a new contract as a result of him tearing a pectoral muscle working out on his own before the season.
ESPN Insider Field Yates reports via a league source that the Browns will pay Bryant $1.25 million this season while he is on the non-football injury list. He had been due to make $6 million.
The Browns did not have to pay Bryant at all because his injury happened when he was working out in New York before training camp. He will miss the entire season, but will make more than $1 million dollars while injured.
