As rumors of a potential trade of receiver Braylon Edwards continue to circulate, the Browns have added another pass catcher to the roster for 2009. The team has announced that veteran wideout Mike Furrey has agreed to terms. The six-year NFL veteran has spent the past three years with the Lions. He played for the Rams the three seasons before that. His best season came in 2006, during which he caught 98 passes for 1,086 yards and six touchdowns. Furrey’s pro career started in 2000, when he signed with the Colts as an undrafted free agent. He’s a veteran of the XFL’s only season, where he played for the Las Vegas Outlaws. It was then onto the Arena League, taking the same path to the NFL that another Northern Iowa graduate took to NFL stardom. In Cleveland, Furrey joins a depth chart that includes Edwards, Donte’ Stallworth, Josh Cribbs, Syndric Steptoe, David Patten, Jordan Norwood, Lance Leggett, Paul Hubbard, Devale Ellis, Brian Robiskie, and Mohamed Massaquoi. Stallworth’s availability is up in the air based on pending manslaughter charges.
