Veteran Damontae Kazee was the answer to the question as the Browns signed him as a backup and special teamer to a one-year contract.
Kazee will back up starters Grant Delpit and Ronnie Hickman.
Kazee was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the fifth round of the 2017 draft from San Diego State and led the NFL in interceptions with seven in 2018.
Kazee played in Atlanta for four seasons before moving to Dallas for a year and the last three seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Kazee is remembered by most for his dirty hit on Indianapolis wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. in 2023, which earned him a suspension for the final few games of the season.
Kazee played in fifteen games for the Steelers last season, starting one, and finished with twenty-one solo tackles and one interception.
Kazee turns thirty-two in June, so he's not a long-term answer, but he's comparable to Rodney McLeod without the big salary of Juan Thornhill, so he'll do fine as the third safety.
