Overview

  • The Cleveland Browns have signed veteran safeties Damontae Kazee and Rayshawn Jenkins to one-year contracts to strengthen their defensive backfield.
  • Kazee, 31, spent the last three seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers and brings eight years of NFL experience, including a league-leading seven interceptions in 2018.
  • Jenkins, also 31, played for the Seattle Seahawks in 2024 and has started 89 career games with 10 interceptions and 517 tackles.
  • These signings come after the Browns released Juan Thornhill, who joined the Steelers, and Rodney McLeod retired after 13 NFL seasons.
  • Kazee's career includes 17 interceptions and 363 tackles, though he was suspended in late 2023 for repeated violations of the NFL’s player safety rules.
