Mary Kay Cabot reports that the Browns are signing WR Terrelle Pryor to a contract on Tuesday.

• Cabot adds that Pryor was set to meet with the Bears today before the Browns signed him to a contract.

Pryor, 26, was taken by the Raiders in the third round of the 2011 supplemental draft. He lasted a little over three years in Oakland before he was traded to the Seahawks for a seventh-round pick that ultimately became Jonathan Dowling.

Pryor briefly played for the Chiefs and Bengals before later being claimed off of waivers by the Browns.

However, Cleveland elected to cut him loose to make room for Robert Turbin, who was claimed off of waivers a few months ago.

Since becoming available, Pryor has worked out for the Jets, Seahawks, Patriot, 49ers and Giants.
