Browns, WR Gordon agree to 1-year deal

Josh Gordon signed his one-year exclusive rights free agent tender with the Cleveland Browns. The contract covers only the 2018 season and is worth $790,000.

Gordon will make the minimum salary for a player with two accrued NFL seasons.

While Gordon was drafted in the 2012 supplemental draft, he missed the majority of two full seasons serving NFL suspensions for drug use.

After leading the NFL in receiving yards in 2013, he has played only 10 games since, including five last season.

In 40 career games, Gordon has 179 receptions for 3,089 yards and 15 touchdowns.

The Browns acquired Jarvis Landry from the Miami Dolphins and last week completed a five-year, $75.5 million deal with the former LSU teammate of Odell Beckham. Landry was designated the franchise player of the Dolphins in February before being traded to Cleveland.

Fullback Danny Vitale, wide receiver Matt Hazel and offensive lineman Austin Reiter also signed one-year ERFA deals on Monday.
