Cleveland Browns reached Thursday's agreement with a quarterback of free agent Josh Rosen with a one -year contract, giving them another veteran when they were waiting for a decision about Deshaun Watson, someone who was familiar with negotiations told the Associated Press.
Rosen, who was at Radar Cleveland before the draft 2018, will officially sign the contract on Friday, said the person, who spoke on anonymous condition because the team had not yet announced the agreement.
Rosen, who is 25 years old, works this week for Browns along with A.J. McCarron when they made an emergency plan if Watson was suspended by NFL.
Brown wants to open a training camp next week with four quarterbacks, according to the person.
Watson faced the possibility of the NFL suspension after being accused of two dozen the therapist of a female massage committing sexual violations during the session while Pro Bowler played three times for Houston Texas.
Former Federal Judge Sue L. Robinson, a league disciplinary official, decided whether Watson, who was traded to Brown in March, had violated personal behavior policies.
If Watson was suspended, Browns intended to go with veteran Jacoby Brissett as their starter and Rosen as his backup.
Brissett has started 37 matches during a pro career with New England, Indianapolis and Miami. He signed as a free agent one day after Cleveland persuaded Watson to release the clause without trade with a five -year contract, $ 230 million which was fully guaranteed.
Josh Dobbs is also on the Cleveland list, but the 27 -year -old player has never started the NFL and Browns match wanting to bring another veteran if Watson came out for several matches.
Rosen is one of several top college quarterbacks that are considered browns with the first overall pick in 2018 before choosing a Mayfield Baker. Cleveland gave Mayfield to Carolina earlier this month after agreeing to take $ 10 million from her salary for 2022.
Rosen was recruited by the 10th year by Arizona. He left 3-13 early for Cardinals and Miami. He was with Atlanta last season and appeared in four matches.
McCarron, which is 31 years old, almost came to Cleveland in 2017 trading from Cincinnati, but the agreement was canceled when Brown failed to submit documents in accordance with the league on time. McCarron has also played for Oakland and Houston.
