Browns sign oft-injured pass-rusher Clowney to one-year deal

Jadeveon Clowney will chase quarterbacks and a Super Bowl title with the Browns. The dynamic free-agent defensive end signed a one-year, $10 million contract with Cleveland on Wednesday, joining All-pro end Myles Garrett on the defensive line and a team looking to go deeper in the playoffs this season.

Clowney, the No. 1 overall pick in 2014, hasn’t always played up to his reputation. He also has dealt with numerous injuries, but Browns general manager Andrew Berry has been intrigued by him for two years, and Clowney visited the team Wednesday for the second time in recent weeks.

BUCCANEERS: Running back Giovani Bernard agreed to a one-year contract with Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press. Bernard was released this month after spending the first eight seasons with the Bengals. In addition to rushing for 3,697 yards and 22 touchdowns, the 29-year-old has 342 receptions for 2,867 yards and 11 TDS.

RAMS: A lawyer and his 26-year-old client told Pittsburgh police Wednesday that Los Angeles defensive lineman Aaron Donald and others assaulted the man at a nightclub last weekend, causing multiple injuries. Attorney Todd J. Hollis said his client, De’vincent Spriggs, needed 16 stitches and suffered a broken orbital bone in his head, a broken nose and a sprained or broken arm. Pittsburgh police confirmed they were reviewing an assault complaint.
