Source: Browns agree with S Burnett, QB Gilbert

The Cleveland Browns have agreed to terms with veteran safety Morgan Burnett, a league source said Friday.

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

The Browns also went to the defunct AAF for quarterback depth, agreeing with Garrett Gilbert, the source said.

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.

Gilbert is an interesting signing given the quirky nature of the AAF, a developmental league that ceased operations April 2.
