Adam Schefter of ESPN first reported the news, confirmed by CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora. Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports it's a two-year contract for Griffin. It comes at an interesting time, with Browns coach Hue Jackson busy watching Carson Wentz perform at the North Dakota State pro day. Cleveland holds the No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft and most people believe they'll take a quarterback there.
“We are excited about Robert joining the Cleveland Browns,†Jackson said. “He brings starting experience to our team and organization. He's a young, athletic, talented passer and he's really just starting out in this league. Just like every player on our team, Robert will have to earn every opportunity he gets. He will compete with the rest of the quarterbacks on our roster and he helps improve our QB room, which was one of my goals upon taking the job. It's a special room and we want to put special people and players in that room. We are looking forward to working with Robert, as well as the rest of the quarterbacks on our roster.
