Browns News: CB Phillip Gaines Signs New Contract with Cleveland

The Cleveland Browns have re-signed cornerback Phillip Gaines, the team announced Tuesday.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Cleveland claimed Gaines off waivers from the Buffalo Bills in November. He appeared in four games for the Browns, recording nine total tackles. That comes on the heels of him piling up 30 total tackles and two pass breakups in seven games with the Bills.

Gaines was a third-round pick of the Kansas City Chiefs back in 2014. He spent four years with the team but dealt with a number of injuries during his tenure in Kansas City. As a Chief, he had concussion issues, a torn ACL and a dislocated elbow.

The soon-to-be 28-year-old has one interception, 16 pass breakups and two forced fumbles in his career.

Gaines was a two-time All-Conference USA selection during his time at Rice.
