Browns sign Jesse James to be team’s third tight end

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Cleveland Browns are signing TE Jesse James to a one-year deal. Having no fullbacks and only two tight ends on the roster seemed improbable heading into the regular season, so James gives them that little insurance policy for gameday.

The #Browns have agreed to terms with free agent TE Jesse James to join the 53-man roster on a one-year deal, per sources. Entering his eighth NFL season, James has 157 catches for 1,522 yards and 12 touchdowns. Good TE3 option for Cleveland behind David Njoku and Harrison Bryant
