The Browns and No. 12 overall pick Danny Shelton have yet to agree on a contract despite previous reports, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported Tuesday.

Multiple reports Monday said Shelton had agreed to a four-year fully-guaranteed deal worth $11.7 million, including a $6.7 million signing bonus.

While Shelton and the team were close to agreement, the Plain Dealer said the report was premature.

On Tuesday, Jacksonville signed Fowler to a $23.5 million deal, with a $15.3 million signing bonus despite the injury.
