Report: Browns, McCoy reach deal

CLEVELAND — A person familiar with the agreement says the Cleveland Browns have come to terms on a multiyear contract with rookie quarterback Colt McCoy.

McCoy is expected to report with Cleveland’s other first-year players to training camp on Friday, said the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team has not yet announced McCoy’s agreement. The Browns are the first NFL team to open camp.

The agreement was first reported by ESPN.com.

The former Texas star was selected in the third round by the Browns. He is expected to be the club’s third-stringer this season behind Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace. McCoy won 45 games as a starter at Texas — the most in NCAA history — and passed for over 13,000 yards.

The Browns are still in talks with first-round pick Joe Haden, a cornerback from Florida.
