Ian Rapoport reports that the Browns are signing free agent LB Mychal Kendricks to a one-year contract on Sunday.
Kendricks also met with the Vikings and Raiders but left both visits without a contract.
Kendricks, 27, is a former second-round pick of the Eagles back in 2012. He was entering the fourth year of his five-year, $29.896 million contract that included $16.4 million guaranteed and set to make a base salary of $5.85 million for the 2018 season when the Eagles designated him as a post-June 1 release a few weeks ago.
In 2017, Kendricks appeared in 15 games for the Eagles and recorded 77 tackles, two sacks and six pass defenses for the Eagles.
