Browns agree to three year contract with Josh McCown

Despite heavy flirting with the Buffalo Bills, the Cleveland Browns have landed free-agent quarterback Josh McCown.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported that McCown and the team struck a three-year deal, per a source involved in the deal.

Landing McCown all but assures that general manager Ray Farmer has moved on from Brian Hoyer, who posted a 10-6 mark in Cleveland over the past two seasons, the best record of any Browns starter since the team’s return to the NFL in 1999. NFL Media’s Albert Breer reported that coach Mike Pettine called Hoyer to inform him of the McCown deal.
