After losing Joe Schobert in free agency and cutting Christian Kirksey, the Cleveland Browns were thin at linebacker.
According to NFL.com reporter Tom Pelissero, the Browns are signing linebacker B.J Goodson
The #Browns have a new starting middle linebacker — B.J. Goodson has agreed to terms, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo. With Christian Kirksey and Joe Schobert gone, a great fit for Goodson.

The deal is for one year that nearly fully guaranteed, according to Peilissero.
It’s a one-year deal that’s nearly fully guaranteed for Goodson, who has 29 career starts. Now, a chance to settle in after last year’s cutdown-weekend trade to the #Packers. https://t.co/6e8gUSKlUz
