Browns fans should be thrilled to bring in defender Troy Hill. The former Rams CB agreed on Thursday with the Browns to take over the corner role of the team slot. And a very good deal became even better for the Browns.
The terms of the transaction are much more favorable for the Browns than were originally reported. What was reported as a four-year deal for $ 24 million by some sources it is not actually accurate.
For Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com, Hill signed for two years, not four, although there are two seasons that can be canceled at the end of the contract. Instead of $ 24 million, it’s only $ 9 million, with a chance of reaching $ 10 million. A total of $ 4 million is guaranteed to Hill at the time of signing.
The transaction is not yet officially processed, so the reported numbers may change again. But getting a very good starting slot for $ 4.5 million per season is a finalization of an agreement for Browns manager Andrew Berry and the financial team.
