The Cleveland Browns have agreed to a two-year contact with free agent quarterback Drew Stanton.
The team announced the pact on Sunday night. The Browns met last week with Stanton while they were in California scouting UCLA’s Josh Rosen and USC’s Sam Darnold – two quarterbacks in the mix to be selected by Cleveland with the No. 1 overall draft pick next month.
The 33-year-old Stanton will likely be a backup for Tyrod Taylor [url=http://www.jaguarscheapstore.com/taven-bryan-jersey-cheap]Taven Bryan Youth Jersey[/url] , recently acquired in a trade with Buffalo. Cleveland also currently has QBs Cody Kessler and Kevin Hogan on its roster.
Stanton has spent the past four seasons with the Arizona Cardinals. He went 3-1 in four starts last season.
The 6-foot-3, 235-pounder has made 17 career starts in the NFL. He’s thrown for 4 [url=http://www.bearscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-roquan-smith-jersey]Roquan Smith Jersey[/url] ,059 yards with 20 touchdowns and 24 interceptions.
Stanton was originally drafted by the Detroit Lions in the second round in 2007. He went 2-2 as a starter over three years.

The Latest on the lawsuit filed by former NFL linebacker Khaseem Greene against authorities in New Jersey (all times local):
12:55 p.m.
Prosecutors in New Jersey have declined to comment on a lawsuit filed by a former NFL linebacker who says he was wrongfully charged by authorities.
Khaseem Greene filed a lawsuit Tuesday alleging police and prosecutors manufactured evidence to pursue a gun charge against him even after another man admitted lying about Greene’s involvement in a shooting outside a nightclub in Elizabeth in December 2016.
The suit names the Union County Prosecutor’s Office and the Elizabeth Police Department. The prosecutor’s office declined to comment, and the police department did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
The gun charge against Greene was dropped last July after an audio recording surfaced of the other man telling detectives he lied about getting the weapon from Greene.

A gun charge against Khaseem Greene was dropped in July after an audio recording surfaced of the other man telling detectives he lied about Greene’s involvement in a shooting outside a nightclub in Elizabeth in December 2016.
The Kansas City Chiefs released Greene the day charges against him were reported.
The other man’s admission came the day he told detectives Greene was involved. But it wasn’t included in a criminal complaint that alleged Greene was seen on camera handing him a gun.
