Hardee signed a one-year contract with the Browns on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Hardee has been a premier special teams contributor for the Jets each of the past seasons, working on kick and punt return coverage, including a Pro Bowl appearance in 2022. Considering he's only played one defensive snap in the last three seasons, he'll likely be expected to be used in the same role in Cleveland.
