Cleveland Browns acquire punter Andy Lee from San Francisco 49ers

The Cleveland Browns have acquired punter Andy Lee from the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for a seventh-round pick in the 2017 Draft.

The 32-year-old became surplus to requirements at the NFC West side after the club used a fifth-round selection in the 2015 Draft to pick Bradley Pinion.

As a result, the 49ers have moved on the three-time Pro Bowl punter in the deal with the Browns, who released Spencer Lanning to make room for Lee on their roster.

Lee has also been named in the All-Pro side four times in his 11-year NFL career.
