The Browns don’t know at the moment who their quarterback might be, but they know they’ll have to protect him.

Toward that end, they’ve signed former Seahawks offensive lineman Paul McQuistan to a one-year deal, per ESPN’s John Clayton.

The Browns lost Oneil Cousins and Shawn Lauvao in free agency, after using their transition tag to hang onto center Alex Mack.

McQuistan started 14 games for the Seahawks last year, and 40 games for them the last three seasons. The 30-year-old has also had a previous stint with the Browns (a month in 2010) along with the Jaguars and Raiders.
