Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports

The Cleveland Browns signed CB Trey Caldwell on Friday, along with five other rookies. Taken in the 5th round at No. 173 overall, Caldwell's contract will be worth about $2.254 million, with a $184,000 signing bonus over four years, according to OverTheCap's pre-determined draft chart. His cap hit in 2016 will be roughly $496,000.

Caldwell was the team's 13th player selected in the draft, their only cornerback picked, and the last of four fifth-round picks. Caldwell is 5-9, 185-pounds and played college football at Louisiana-Monroe. He will wear No. 31 with the Browns. On the first day of rookie minicamp, Caldwell discussed his mindset of wanting to be a starter:

"I always have the mindset that I am trying to take a spot. I am trying to make something out for myself. I want to be a starter. I’ve just got to put in the effort and learn from the vets. Learn from Joe Haden – he’s an All-Pro corner. It’s kind of surreal to think about that – I am one of his teammates now. I’ve just got to learn from the vets, take advantage of this opportunity and do my best."
