Browns NFL free agency: Grading the signing of WR Tylan Wallace

The Cleveland Browns have finally added to their wide receiver corps, stealing a player from their AFC North rival, the Baltimore Ravens , signing Tylan Wallace . However, Wallace is more of a special-teams addition as a wide receiver; he can give you some snaps on offense, but in five years, he has less than 400 career receiving yards.

Wallace brings a ton of special teams performances as a returner as well as punt and kick coverage, and the Browns needed to add more guys to improve their special teams, and that's what this move does. Special teams were a real issue for Cleveland last year and cost the team games, so prioritizing another good special teamer makes sense for the Browns.

Maybe Wallace will be able to give the offense a boost, as bad as it was last year, but I wouldn't hold my breath because that's just not who he has been for his NFL career. But for what his role will likely be, this isn't a bad signing, though you continue to wonder when they'll add something of substance to the wide receiver room.

Signing Grade: C+
