Support » CLEVELAND (AP) — A person familiar with the decision tells

The Associated Press the Cleveland Browns are signing undrafted Scottish free agent punter Jamie Gillan from Arkansas-Pine Bluff.The Browns brought Gillan in for a workout before the NFL draft. They plan to sign him later this week and have him in camp to compete with starting punter Britton Colquitt Chad Thomas Color Rush Jersey , according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Monday because Gillan still must pass a physical before signing.Gillan caught Cleveland’s attention — and other teams’ as well — after averaging 43.4 yards per punt last season. He was born in England and played rugby growing up in Scotland before his father, a member of the Royal Armed Forces, was transferred to the United States. He’s been dubbed “The Scottish Hammer.”Colquitt was a Pro Bowl alternate last season, averaging 45.4 yards per kick and setting a team record with 32 punts inside the 20. They’ve added defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson, and they could soon be landing another high-profile defensive lineman, eventually.Steve Doerschuk of the reports that the Browns have “ongoing interest” in Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy.The third overall pick in the 2010 draft https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Antonio-Callaway-Jersey , the 31-year-old McCoy has been available for much of the offseason, but no deal has even been regarded as close. Doerschuk suggests that running back Duke Johnson could be the bait for a Tampa Bay trade.Signed through 2021, McCoy is due to earn $13 million in 2019, $12.5 million in 2020, and nearly $13 million in the final year of his contract.Doerschuk points out that coach Bruce Arians has expressed ambivalence about paying so much to McCoy, given the reality that at his age McCoy’s performance could begin to dip. The question then becomes whether the Browns would be willing to pay McCoy $13 million this year Britton Colquitt Jersey , or whether they’d want to pay him less.And if the Browns won’t be taking McCoy’s contract as is, his better play could be to dig in his feet and wait to be cut, picking his next team instead of his next team picking him.Whether it’s Cleveland or elsewhere, it seems increasingly clear that McCoy won’t be playing for the Buccaneers in 2019.
