This off-season has already brought about plenty of changes across the board for Cleveland, and that process continued this morning with the signing of former Patriots tight end Ben Watson.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Browns and Watson reached an accord on a three year contract that will pay him $12 million, with $6.35 million of that guaranteed.

Drafted in 2004, Watson has spent his entire career up to this point in New England, racking up 167 receptions for 2,102 yards and 20 touchdowns. He’ll bring unquestioned leadership to the locker room in Cleveland and a solid work ethic on the field, which will undoubtedly assist whoever the Browns choose to play at quarterback this fall.
