The Cleveland Browns must focus on three critical areas this offseason to improve their roster:

  1. Re-Sign Key Defensive Players
  • Priority target: Jadeveon Clowney to maintain strong defensive line with Myles Garrett
  • Other important free agents: Malik Jackson, Malcolm Smith, and MJ Stewart
  • Defense performed well in 2021, making retention crucial
  • Current team-friendly contracts provide flexibility
  1. Evaluate Quarterback Options
  • Assess potential upgrades from Baker Mayfield
  • Possible targets include Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, Aaron Rodgers, and Teddy Bridgewater
  • Consider cost implications (cap space and draft picks)
  • Current QB play limits Super Bowl potential
  • Need franchise quarterback to consistently compete
  1. Add Wide Receiver Depth
  • Replace Odell Beckham Jr.'s production
  • Address Jarvis Landry's contract situation
  • Top free agent options:
    • Davante Adams
    • Will Fuller V
    • Chris Godwin
    • Allen Robinson
  • Consider value options like JuJu Smith-Schuster
  • Additional receiver would benefit:
    • Existing receivers (Landry, Peoples-Jones)
    • Running game effectiveness
    • Overall offensive flexibility
