Overview

• The Browns signed the undrafted rookie wideout to a three-year, $3.018 million contract that is fully guaranteed, an uncommon structure more in line with Day 2 draft value.
• General manager Andrew Berry said the team spent months researching the case, reviewed an independently administered polygraph that Bond passed, and leaned on input from OC Tommy Rees, who coached him at Alabama.
• To create a roster spot, Cleveland waived long snapper Brent Matiscik in a corresponding move.
• A Collin County grand jury returned a no-bill last week, ending criminal prosecution, and a defamation lawsuit Bond filed was dismissed with prejudice in July.
• The NFL confirmed it is reviewing the matter under the Personal Conduct Policy, while Bond brings 4.39-second 40-yard speed to an inexperienced receiver group and must catch up after missing camp time.
