It was more of a paperwork formality than any great question, but the Cleveland Browns have officially brought back tight end Pharaoh Brown for the 2020 NFL season.
Brown signed his exclusive rights free agent offer extended by the team. As an ERFA, Brown could not negotiate with other teams unless the Browns refused to give him a qualifying offer to remain in Cleveland. The Browns did that, and now the tight end is locked up for another season.
Brown, who turns 26 in May, caught two passes for 27 yards in 2019. He was acquired off the Raiders practice squad in 2018 but never made it to the Browns active roster until last fall. He is a Cleveland native.
