The Cleveland Browns are signing veteran safety Damontae Kazee, a league source confirmed to ESPN on Monday.
Kazee, 31, spent the past three seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, starting five games during his stint with the team.
The Browns needed safety depth after losing two contributors this offseason. The team released Juan Thornhill, who later signed a one-year deal with the Steelers. Rodney McLeod, who spent the past two seasons in Cleveland, is retiring after 13 seasons in the NFL.
In December 2023, Kazee was suspended for the final three games of the regular season without pay after a hard hit on Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr.
