Report: Cleveland Browns sign Karlos Dansby and Donte Whitner

The Cleveland Browns sign former Arizona Cardinals linebacker Karlos Dansby and former San Francisco 49ers safety Donte Whitner, according to reports.

The Cleveland Browns have agreed deals to sign former Arizona Cardinals linebacker Karlos Dansby and former San Francisco 49ers safety Donte Whitner, according to reports.

Dansby enjoyed a fine year in 2013, finishing the season with 113 tackles, 6.5 sacks and four interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns.

It was the 32-year-old's first season back with the Cardinals after he had initially left Arizona for a three-year stint with the Miami Dolphins.

He has now agreed a four-year deal with the Browns worth a reported $24m (£14.4m) overall, including $14m (£8.4m) guaranteed.

Whitner, meanwhile, has also joined on a four-year contract, although Cleveland have reportedly agreed a $28m (£16.8m) deal to secure his services.

The 28-year-old is widely regarded as one of the biggest-hitting safeties in the NFL and is considering changing his name to 'Donte Hitner' as a protest against fines given to him by the league.
