The Browns claimed Ford off waivers Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Appearing in 20 of 32 games between 2013 and 2014, Ford picked up 14.3 and 33.1 percent of Minnesota's offensive snaps, respectively, between those two seasons. However, the tight end was pushed to the fringe of the depth chart last year, logging no snaps in any realm between stints with the Vikings and Ravens. Despite this fact, he signed his restricted free-agent tender with the latter organization last month, only to by waived this Tuesday. Upon joining the Browns, he'll be in the mix for reps in a meeting room that is populated by clear-cut No. 1 Gary Barnidge but little else of note.
