BEREA, Ohio - Quarterback Josh McCown and the Cleveland Browns have agreed to terms on Friday for a three-year deal, according to Mary Kay Cabot of the Plain Dealer.
The team and McCown's agent, Mike McCartney, both confirmed the signing on Twitter.
McCown was released from Tampa after a poor season, throwing 14 interceptions against 11 touchdowns in a one-win campaign for the Buccaneers, though showed more promise two seasons ago as the stand-in for Jay Cutler in Chicago.
The signing will create a competition between the 36-year-old veteran and Johnny Manziel, and also makes it less likely that the Browns will sign Brian Hoyer, who in two seasons went 10-6 for them, as the Cleveland native is set to become a free agent on March 10.
McCown was selected by the Cardinals in the third round of the 2002 NFL Draft from Sam Houston State, going 17-32 overall, tossing 61 touchdowns and 59 interceptions.
