The Browns are bringing in some veteran help at linebacker. They're also bringing a Cleveland native back home, Chris Easterling of The Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Saturday morning, the Browns officially announced the signing of former Benedictine High School and Ohio State University product Jerome Baker. The deal was agreed to, and previously reported, on Friday night.

Baker, who was in for a visit on Thursday, is more help at a position the Browns are desperately in need of veteran help with Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah's future up in the air because of the neck injury he sustained in Week 8 last year against the Baltimore Ravens. Outside of Jordan Hicks and Devin Bush, most of their linebackers are still in their first three years of pro experience.

Baker split time between the Seattle Seahawks and Tennessee Titans last year, playing in five games for each with five starts in Seattle and three in Tennessee. He had two combined sacks, a fumble forced, a fumble recovered and two tackles for loss in those games.
