CLEVELAND (AP) - Kicker Phil Dawson, one of only two members of the 1999 expansion Browns roster still with the team, signed a five-year contract extension with Cleveland, the team announced Friday.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Dawson was headed into the last year of a four-year deal signed in 2002. Defensive back Daylon McCutcheon is the other Browns player still on the team from when the team was revived in Cleveland.
The 5-foot-11, 200-pound Dawson is the franchise leader in field goal percentage (82 percent), making 108 of 132 attempts in his six-year career.
Dawson, who ranks seventh all-time in the league in accuracy, has had six game-winning kicks in his six years with the Browns.
Last season, he matched a career-high 100 points, connecting on 24 of 29 field goal attempts and making all 28 extra points.
Dawson was signed by Cleveland as a free agent in 1999.
