Quarterback Josh McCown chose the Cleveland Browns over the Buffalo Bills on Friday, reportedly agreeing to a three-year contract.

His agent, Mike McCartney, tweeted news of the agreement: “Excited for Josh McCown agreeing to terms with the Cleveland Browns.” The deal is for three years, according to FOX Sports, NFL.com and ESPN.com.

McCown, a 12-year veteran released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Feb. 11, had talked with the Chicago Bears and New York Jets as well, and he reportedly was close to a deal with the Bills on Thursday.

A third-round draft pick by the Arizona Cardinals in 2002, McCown has played for six teams in 13 seasons. He started 11 games for Tampa Bay in 2014, completing 56.3 percent of his passes for 2,206 yards, 11 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.

McCown, 35, appears to be the Browns’ starter for now, with 2014 first-round pick Johnny Manziel in rehab and 2014 starter Brian Hoyer a pending free agent.
