    The Cleveland Browns have their backfield replacement for Trent Richardson. As expected, the team signed former Broncos running back Willis McGahee after he passed his physical on Thursday afternoon. The Browns just traded Richardson, the 2012 third overall pick, to the Colts on Wednesday evening.

    McGahee is set up to be the lead back on a roster where without Richardson, Bobby Rainey and Chris Ogbonnaya had been the Browns top two options.

    According to the NFL Network, it's unclear if McGahee will be active right away for the game at Minnesota on Sunday, but he hopes to be.
