The Browns might not have nearly as much quality on the field, but at least they have quantity at wide receiver.

To go along with the reports earlier this afternoon that they had signed Miles Austin, the Browns announced they had reached deals wide receiver Earl Bennett along with defensive lineman Elhadji Ndiaye.

Bennett was released by the Bears in March after six seasons, but had tailed off in recent years.

He and Austin give the Browns some experience at the position, but nothing approaching the kind of explosion they’ll lose if Josh Gordon’s suspension isn’t successfully appealed.
