It will be a one-year deal for Brissett, who spent has spent time with the Patriots, Colts and most recently the Dolphins over the course of his six-year career.
Brissett has appeared in 60 games and has started 37 over the course of time in the NFL. He has completed 60.2% of his passes for 7,742 yards and 36 touchdowns to 17 interceptions.
After Cleveland traded multiple draft picks to Houston for Watson on Friday, the team signed its new starting quarterback to a record-breaking fully-guaranteed five-year, $230 million contract extension.
