Browns sign former Houston running back Ben Tate

It was only a matter of time before a deal was announced between the Cleveland Browns and former Houston Texans running back Ben Tate.

According to Adam Schefter, Tate's deal with the Browns is for two-years and could be worth up to $7 million.

Tate, 25, is coming off a season in which he ran for 771 yards and scored four touchdowns. His 4.3 yds/carry was good enough for 20th in the NFL among eligible running backs. He also caught 34 balls for 140 yards.

Tate will likely share carries with Dion Lewis this season unless the Browns decide to draft a running back in this May's NFL Draft.
