Report: Browns signing former first-round pick Josh Rosen to one-year deal

The Arizona Cardinals originally drafted Rosen No. 10 overall in 2018 but moved on from him after a single season in favor of Kyler Murray. Rosen then failed to find a long-term home with a handful of other organizations and most recently made a few appearances with the Atlanta Falcons during the 2021 campaign. He completed two of 11 passes with two interceptions in those outings. 

Backup Jacoby Brissett will become Cleveland's QB1 if Watson receives any ban, and the Browns also have journeyman Joshua Dobbs on their depth chart. There have been conflicting reports on whether or not Cleveland could pursue San Francisco 49ers veteran Jimmy Garoppolo, who has seemingly lost his job to 2021 rookie Trey Lance ahead of training-camp practices that get underway next week.
