CLEVELAND -- Just 48 hours after losing quarterback Derek Anderson (knee) for the season, the Cleveland Browns signed free-agent quarterback Bruce Gradkowski to a two-year contract Tuesday.
The team held a workout for Gradkowski at its training facility in Berea, Ohio. He last played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and has 17 games of NFL experience.
Cleveland was searching for a backup to play behind new starter Ken Dorsey, who entered the year as the third-string quarterback. The Browns also lost Brady Quinn recently with a season-ending finger injury.
Sunday the Browns will travel to Nashville to play the Tennessee Titans (11-1).
Bruce Gradkowski, who played two years with Tampa Bay and was out of football this season. Gradkowski, who played at Toledo, had nine touchdowns and 10 interceptions in two seasons with the Bucs and a passer rating of 65.0.
