The Cleveland Browns have made a ton of moves to reconfigure their roster ahead of the 2022 NFL season – and it looks like they're not done yet.
The Browns have locked in Pro Bowl return specialist and wide receiver Jakeem Grant. The news was reported by NFL insider Tom Pelissero.
Via NFL.com:
The Cleveland Browns are signing returner and wide receiver Jakeem Grant to a three-year deal worth $13.8 million max, Pelissero reported. Grant was traded from the Dolphins to the Bears last season and earned a Pro Bowl selection despite ending the year on injured reserve with an ankle injury. The team also released center and NFL Players Association president JC Tretter.

Grant was acquired in-season by Chicago and had over 740 return yards and 3 total TDs (2 on offense, 1 as returner).

The Browns have acted with a clear desire to overhaul their roster of late, making several moves and transactions to shake up their previously established status quo. They released longtime starters JC Tretter and 5-time Pro Bowler Jarvis Landry while acquiring WR Amari Cooper from the Dallas Cowboys.
Cleveland is also right in the thick of the chase for quarterback Deshaun Watson, which has Baker Mayfield sending out a preemptive goodbye letter to the City of Cleveland. It's likely a new era for the Cleveland Browns.
