The Cleveland Browns have agreed to sign a wide receiver who had a breakout season in 2016. It’s just not the one most were expecting.
Per Adam Caplan of ESPN, the Browns will be signing Kenny Britt to a four-year, $32 million contract with $17 million guaranteed when free agency officially starts at 4pm ET on Thursday.
This is going to be viewed as a disappointment to some because it’s not Terrelle Pryor, who just had a breakout season of his own with the Browns. However, there are many layers to the decision of making Britt the first priority at the position.
