The Cleveland Browns solved their kicker problem Tuesday, announcing a deal with veteran Billy Cundiff on its Twitter feed.

After cutting veteran Shayne Graham and releasing rookie Brandon Bogotay over the weekend, and declining to re-sign free agent Phil Dawson, the Browns needed to fill the role and fast.

Cundiff, 33, was previously with the Browns in 2009, filling in for Dawson, and spent 2010 through 2012 with Baltimore. He was cut by the Jets this summer.

The reason he gave was they are starving and the establishment is giving a 10 percent discount to furloughed government workers as an indication of how ordinary Americans are looking out for one another.
