Running back Jerome Harrison is one of five restricted free agents to sign one-year tenders with the Cleveland Browns.

A team spokesman said on Monday that Harrison, linebackers D'Qwell Jackson and Matt Roth, safety Abram Elam and fullback Lawrence Vickers signed their deals. The players had until 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday to sign the tenders, or the team could reduce their base salaries by 10 percent.

Roth was the only one of the five not to have a $1.759 million base salary. His is $1.809 million because he has five accrued seasons, instead of four.

Harrison ran for 561 yards in Cleveland's final three games. He gained 286 yards - the third-highest, one-game total in NFL history - in a Dec. 20 win at Kansas City.
