The Browns announced the signing of fourth-round safety Derrick Kindred Friday.
Kindred was a 30-game starter and played in 50 games over four years at TCU. He had eight career interceptions and was an All-Big 12 pick last season.
With the Browns releasing veteran safety Donte Whitner and letting Tashaun Gipson leave for Jacksonville via free agency, Kindred should immediately compete for playing time with the Browns.
Kindred’s signing comes a day after the Browns signed second-round linebacker Emmanual Ogbah. The Browns have now signed eight of their record 14 draft picks.
