Browns sign Womack

Associated Press

The Cleveland Browns have signed offensive lineman Floyd Womack, who spent the past eight seasons with the Seattle Seahawks.

Coach Eric Mangini also signed former New York Jets linebacker Eric Barton on Friday.

The 30-year-old Womack started 46 games for the Seahawks, and can play tackle or guard.

Kiffin to give deposition

Former Oakland Raiders coach Lane Kiffin will give a deposition next week in his grievance against the team.

Kiffin was fired in September for cause after what owner Al Davis described as acts of insubordination and lying. Kiffin filed a grievance and is seeking two months pay for the time he was unemployed before being hired at the University of Tennessee.

Kiffin’s attorney, Alan Loewinsohn, said his client is confident the hearing will show he was fired without cause.

Kiffin is scheduled to give his deposition Monday, with Davis to be questioned Tuesday.

Broncos sign guard

The Denver Broncos signed guard Scott Young to bolster their offensive line.

Young spent last season with Cleveland, and played in one game for the Browns. He spent the previous three seasons with Philadelphia.
