Browns add DL Mitchell from Vikes in exchange for draft pick

Published: Oct 05, 2010 at 09:55 AM

The Cleveland Browns added depth to their defensive line Tuesday by acquiring Jayme Mitchell from the Minnesota Vikings, league sources told NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora.

The Browns sent a late-round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft to the Vikings in return for the fifth-year pro out of Mississippi.

Mitchell, 26, played in 23 games over his first two seasons with Minnesota before a preseason knee injury wiped out his 2008 campaign.

Mitchell appeared in five games for the Vikings in 2009, including the NFC title game against the New Orleans Saints. He has one sack in two games this season.
