The Cleveland Browns have signed third-round wide receiver David Bell to a four-year, $4.894 contract according to the team's official website.

Bell was one of three third-round picks the Browns made after giving up most of their draft picks in trades to acquire QB DeShaun Watson and WR Amari Cooper.  And Bell should see a lot of opportunity during his rookie season for a team in dire need of reliable places to funnel targets. Save for down-field specialist Donovan Peoples-Jones and jitterbug big-play option Jakeem Grant, there are few very places for Watson to turn to in this receiver group. A huge compiler in the Big 10, Bell's question is his athleticism after he timed (well) beyond 4.60 this spring. He figures to start out as a "big" (6-foot-1) slot man.
