Adam Schefter of NFL Network is reporting that the Cleveland Browns have reached an agreement on a one-year contract with free agent linebacker Shantee Orr.

Orr, who spent time with both the Jaguars and the Texans last season, will basically fill the role vacated by Chaun Thompson, who signed as a free agent with the Houston Texans this year after playing every game for the last five years, mostly as a backup, for the Browns.

Orr played his college ball at Michigan and signed with the Texans in 2003 after briefly spending time with the Packers as an undrafted free agent.  He became a starter in Houston in 2005 and was released during the 2007 season.
