Some quick facts and impressions about yesterday’s signing of K Shayne Graham.

• Given a prolific and popular placekicking predecessor in Phil Dawson, it makes a lot of sense to bring in a veteran who’s known both success and failure in the league. I’m old enough to remember Dave Jacobs and Jerry Kauric.
• Graham’s longest stint was seven years in Cincinnati, where he made his only Pro Bowl appearance after the 2005 season. 
• The Browns will be his ninth team in the last five years and eleventh overall.
• He’s now the oldest player — by four years — on the Browns roster and is nearly three years younger than Dawson.
• He’s scored 113 points against the Browns. I’d put it at even money on whether he ends up scoring more points for or against Cleveland.
• Before yesterday, the Browns have drafted one Graham and signed two others in the past 57 years. Two of those three ended up having decent pro careers elsewhere. But no man with that surname has played in an NFL game for the Browns since Otto retired in 1955.
• Two of his four career missed extra points came in Cleveland Browns Stadium. He’s 8-for-12 on FG attempts at CBS (67%, versus career average of 85.4%.
• The Bengals dropped him after 2009, when their season ended with Graham missing both his FG attempts in a home playoff loss to the Jets.
• Last year with Houston, he scored a career-high 138 points, plus 21 more in the playoffs, where he nailed 4-of-4 FGs in a 19-13 win over — you know it’s coming —  the Bengals.
• His most recent NFL field goal attempt: a successful 55-yarder in the playoff game at New England — the longest of his career.
