McCourty joins twin brother on Patriots after being traded from Browns
by from on (#3J9QJ)
Instead of releasing Jason McCourty, as they announced they would early Thursday, the Cleveland Browns traded the cornerback to the New England Patriots, where he'll join his twin brother, Devin.
The Patriots will also receive a 2018 seventh-round pick in exchange for a 2018 sixth-round pick.
In one year in Cleveland after eight seasons in Tennessee, McCourty recorded three interceptions, two forced fumbles, and 14 passes defensed. He's expected to draw a strong market for his services.
He'll now join his brother, who has played for New England his entire career since being drafted in the first round of the 2010 draft.
