Browns agree with S Burnett, ex-AAF QB Gilbert

The Cleveland Browns have agreed to terms with veteran safety Morgan Burnett, the team announced Friday.

A source told ESPN's Josina Anderson that the deal is expected to be for two years.

Burnett will compete with recently acquired Eric Murray to fill a need at safety following the trade of Jabrill Peppers in the Odell Beckham Jr. deal.

The Browns also went to the Alliance of American Football, a developmental league, for quarterback depth, agreeing with Garrett Gilbert, the team said. The AAF suspended all operations April 2.

Gilbert is an interesting signing given the quirky nature of the AAF.
