The Browns have signed 31-year old inside linebacker Eric Barton.  Barton will likely team up with D’Qwell Jackson on the inside of the Browns’ defense which will tighten up against the run in 2009.  Barton played in all 16 games for the Jets last season and he made 119 tackles, defensed 4 passes, had 1.5 sacks and he forced a fumble.  Barton has now played in 136 games in his NFL career and he has made 744 tackles, defensed 21 passes, has 20 sacks, forced 8 fumbles and he has 4 interceptions.  Finally, the Browns signed a ex-New York Jet with some talent.
