A lot of Browns fans wanted another wide receiver added to the mix.

Instead, they’ve added another running back to an-already promising backfield.

Florio has learned via a league source that running back Brandon Jackson has joined the Browns on a two-year, $4.5 million contract. The Browns want Peyton Hillis to play fewer snaps this year, and Jackson is a very capable third-down option.

The team also has 2010 second round pick Montario Hardesty coming back from injury, but the team doesn’t have to rely on him too much.

Jackson developed into a fine pass blocker over the years and can help diversify Cleveland’s offense. We’ve said it before, but it’s a good thing Hillis got on the Madden cover this year because we doubt he’ll get the ball so much again.

Grant should be a lock to make the roster now, if he wasn't already.

2 year, 4.5 mil. Pretty surprised GB didn't consider bringing him back if this was his asking price. Shows a lot of faith in Green being able to pick up 3rd down duties.

I just hope Green can block as well as B-Jack. Edgar Bennett's no longer our RBs coach. The new guy better teach blocking well.

Geez, I hope Green can read where the hole is, exploit it, and run down the field. I will not miss B.Jackson running up the backs of his Olineman. I wish we had our 2nd round pick back.

Good luck in Cleveland Brandon, and thanks for making Urlacher lose his jock in the playoffs. That play and your touchdown against Philly were your 15 minutes of fame with the Pack.
