Texans signed LB Chaun Thompson, formerly of the Browns, to a two-year, $2.4 million contract. The deal includes a $605,000 signing bonus.
Cleveland had an offer on the table, but it likely wasn’t as substantial. Thompson, 28, figures to battle on the strong side with Kevin Bentley. He can rush the passer, having posted 10 sacks as a reserve in his Browns stint.
