Chaun Thompson - LB - Texans

Texans signed LB Chaun Thompson, formerly of the Browns, to a two-year, $2.4 million contract. The deal includes a $605,000 signing bonus.

Cleveland had an offer on the table, but it likely wasn't as substantial. Thompson, 28, figures to battle on the strong side with Kevin Bentley. He can rush the passer, having posted 10 sacks as a reserve in his Browns stint.

Chaun Thompson - LB - Texans

Chaun Thompson - LB - Texans

Browns LB Chaun Thompson left Sunday's finale with a hand injury.

He was taken to the locker room, likely to undergo testing, but returned later on. Thompson, who started the game at inside linebacker in place of Andra Davis, may move back to his more natural outside spot in 2007, but is unlikely to be considered as starting material.

Chaun Thompson - LB - Texans

Browns fourth-year linebacker Chaun Thompson is expected to be a reserve this season, most likely on the inside.

An in-training camp calf injury hurt Thompson's chances of getting the outright nod over second-round rookie D'Qwell Jackson. Thompson, a former second-rounder himself, will likely help at his natural outside linebacker position during passing downs this season.

Chaun Thompson - LB - Texans

Chaun Thompson has been working almost exclusively at inside linebacker.

It appears the Browns will start Kamerion Wimbley outside as a rookie. If Thompson sticks on the inside, he'll push second-round pick D'Qwell Jackson for a starting job.

Chaun Thompson - LB - Texans

Chaun Thompson says he's willing to move to inside linebacker.

Thompson played well at times last season, registering five sacks, but lost his starting job late. With newcomers Kamerion Wimbley and D'Qwell Jackson in the mix, Thompson is all but assured a full-time bench role in 2006, wherever he's lining up.

Chaun Thompson - LB - Texans

Chaun Thompason was benched during Cleveland's preseason finale.
