The Cleveland Browns sign WR Mike Furrey
The Browns have signed 31-year old WR Mike Furrey to a 1-year deal. Furrey is a good, versatile football player as he can literally be on the field at any time. He has started at both safety and WR in his NFL career. He is also a solid special teams player. Furrey played in 9 games for the Lions last season catching 18 passes for 181 yards (10.1 avg). He has now played in 62 games at WR in his career catching 198 passes for 2,128 yards (10.7 avg) with 7 TD grabs. Furrey also has 61 tackles, has defensed 8 passes and he has 4 career interceptions (1 returned for a TD). If the Browns get in a pinch Furrey could return kicks for them. He has returned 23 punts for 213 yards (9.3 avg) and also 20 kickoffs for 375 yards (18.8 avg) in his NFL career. Look for the Browns to have Furrey concentrate on offense where he could earn the #3 WR job with a good training camp.
