CLEVELAND — Robert Royal has agreed to a contract with the Cleveland Browns, helping fill the void left by the departure of Pro Bowl tight end Kellen Winslow.

Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Royal caught 33 passes for 351 yards and one touchdown last season for the Buffalo Bills. He was drafted in 2002 by the Washington Redskins and is known primarily for his blocking.

The Browns needed another tight end after trading Winslow to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week. Steve Heiden underwent knee surgery in December and may not take part in all the Browns' offseason activities, leaving only Martin Rucker as another tight end possibility.
