The Cleveland Browns claimed guard Paul Fanaika off waivers, Marc Lillibridge, Fanaika's agent, announced on Twitter.

Fanaika was waived by the Washington Redskins on Monday, who needed to clear a roster spot to accommodate restricted free agent linebacker Rocky McIntosh, who signed his one-year tender.

A seventh-round pick (213th overall) out of Arizona State in 2009 by the Philadelphia Eagles, Fanaika (6-6, 336) split his rookie season between the Eagles' practice squad and Redskins' 53-man roster.
