After reviewing the Cleveland Browns' recent roster cuts, here are three key free agents they should consider targeting:

Joey Slye - Kicker

• Former Panthers kicker with two years of NFL experience
• Could provide needed competition for current kicker Chase McLaughlin
• While he struggled in camp and missed three preseason field goals, his proven NFL track record makes him worth considering
• Would address concerns about McLaughlin's consistency after his preseason extra point miss

Cam Newton - Quarterback

• Could serve as an intriguing backup option behind Baker Mayfield
• Would bring unique skillset to utilize Browns' strong running game and offensive line
• Option-heavy offense with Newton, Chubb, Hunt could be effective if needed
• Browns' receivers' catch radius could help overcome recent passing struggles
• Better upside than current backup Case Keenum for spot starts

Bernardrick McKinney - Linebacker

• Former second-round pick recently cut by Dolphins
• Has shown clear starter potential when healthy
• Would add needed depth to Browns' linebacker group
• Low-risk, high-reward option for a Super Bowl contender
• Makes sense given Browns kept seven linebackers after cuts

These additions could provide valuable depth and competition at key positions as the Browns look to contend in 2023. The team should particularly consider McKinney and Slye given their immediate needs at those spots.
