Reports: LB Goodson, S Joseph agree to deal with Browns

The Cleveland Browns reached agreement on deals with linebacker B.J. Goodson and safety Karl Joseph, according to multiple reports.

Goodson's deal is for one season, according to Cleveland.com. Joseph also agreed for one year, NFL Network reported.

Adding Goodson comes on the heels of the Browns losing linebackers Joe Schobert (Jacksonville Jaguars) and Christian Kirksey (Green Bay Packers) earlier in the week.

Joseph started 41 of 49 games played over the past four seasons for the then-Oakland Raiders.

He was a first-round draft pick (14th overall) in 2016 from West Virginia. Joseph was the first safety selected that year, three picks before Keanu Neal of the Atlanta Falcons.

Joseph, 26, had 49 tackles and one interception in nine games last season for the Raiders before suffering a season-ending foot injury.

Overall, Joseph has recorded 236 tackles, four interceptions, three sacks, three fumble recoveries and one forced fumble.

Goodson, who turns 27 in May, had 37 tackles in 15 games (nine starts) last season in his lone season with the Green Bay Packers.

He spent his first three seasons with the New York Giants. His best season was in 2018 when he had 61 tackles, two interceptions and one fumble recovery.

Overall, Goodson has 160 tackles, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery in 52 career appearances (29 starts).

Goodson was a fourth-round pick by the Giants in 2016. He played college football at Clemson.
