The Cleveland Browns are signing cornerback Troy Hill to a four-year, $24 million deal, NFL Network reported Thursday.

Hill, 29, started all 16 games for the Los Angeles Rams last season and scored three defensive touchdowns.

He tallied 77 tackles, three interceptions and two fumble recoveries in 2020. He scored on a 20-yard fumble return against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12 and two pick-sixes versus the Arizona Cardinals (35 yards in Week 13 and 84 yards in Week 17).

The Youngstown, Ohio native has 218 tackles, seven interceptions and 29 passes defensed in 73 games (39 starts) with the Cincinnati Bengals (2015) and Rams (2016-20).

Hill will be reunited with former Rams teammate John Johnson. The safety agreed to a reported three-year, $33.75 million deal with Cleveland earlier this week.
