A Cleveland native who played quarterback for the Browns the last two years is leaving town. Another local product who catches passes is coming home.
Receiver Brian Hartline, a native of Canton, Ohio, has agreed to terms with the Browns, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. It’s a two-year, $6 million deal.
Hartline was due to earn a base salary of $5.9 million with the Dolphins in 2015. He was cut late last month, and he had visited the Browns, Bears, and Texans. The Patriots also were believed to be interested.
Hartline instantly upgrades a receiver position that needs plenty of help.
