He might not be Derek Anderson or Jamal Lewis, but he's a key part of the Browns' special teams units -- and he, like Anderson and Lewis, is now locked up through the 2010 season.
Safety Nick Sorensen, who appeared in nine games for the Browns in 2007 after signing with the club on Oct. 24, signed a three-year contract with the team, the club announced Tuesday.
Sorensen finished fifth on the team last season with 14 special teams tackles.
"Nick joined us midseason last year and did an excellent job on special teams and also provided veteran leadership," Browns general manager Phil Savage said. "He will be a part of our core special teams unit and serve as a quality backup safety in our secondary."
Sorensen, 29, is an eight-year NFL veteran with 84 games of experience with St. Louis, Jacksonville and the Browns. Sorensen originally entered the NFL as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Virginia Tech.
