The Facts: PFT's Mike Florio has learned via a league source that running back Brandon Jackson has joined the Browns on a two-year, $4.5 million contract.

Diehards Line:The Browns want Peyton Hillis to play fewer snaps this year, and Jackson is a very capable third-down option. The team also has 2010 second round pick Montario Hardesty coming back from injury, but the team doesn’t have to rely on him too much. Jackson developed into a fine pass blocker over the years and can help diversify Cleveland’s offense.
