  Browns | Close to an agreement with Francies    Wed Jul 15, 04:25 PM

Tony Grossi, of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, reports the Cleveland Browns are close to an agreement with sixth-round draft choice CB Coye Francies and could complete the deal sometime this week, according to a source.

Footballguys view: Coye Francies was considered a second-round draft pick by some in the scouting community, but his draft stock was in a free-fall on draft weekend. Francies has good hips and is able to turn and run with most receivers that he comes up against. He is rarely out of position and has good instincts for where a play is going to go. Francies is an aggressive player that loves to get physical with wide receivers, but he's going to have to dial that down in the NFL so he doesn't get a ton of penalties called on him.
