The Cleveland Browns have signed Andrew Hawkins to a four-year deal worth $13.6 million.
Cincinnati had until midnight to match Cleveland’s offer if they wanted to keep the 5-foot-7 slot receiver. Instead they passed, giving the Browns another target opposite of breakout wide receiver Josh Gordon and tight end Jordan Cameron.
Bengals not matching Browns offer sheet for Wr Andrew Hawkins. He's a Brown.
