Browns sign 9-year-old Dylan Sutcliffe

BEREA, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns added a defensive lineman to the roster on Tuesday when they signed 9-year-old Dylan Sutcliffe to a one-day contract.

Sutcliffe, a resident of suburban Lyndhurst, Ohio, was introduced to the Browns by the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Sutcliffe had told Make-A-Wish of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana that his dream was to play for the Browns. He has been diagnosed with ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T), an immunodeficiency disease that affects a number of different organs in the body. A-T is a rare, recessive genetic disorder that affects about one out of every 40,000-100,000 children worldwide.
