BEREA, Ohio — Over the last several Cleveland Browns off-seasons, The Greetham Angle has laid out our ideas on what we think the Browns can do to put themselves in a position to take it to the next level. Heading into the 2023 offseason, we laid out five steps the Browns could take to make it to the playoffs. The Browns had a strong season with an 11-6 finish and a berth as the No. 1 wild card team in the playoffs.
The Greetham Angle projected the Browns to be 11-6 and to make the playoffs before the season began but likely would not have if we would have known the team would lose their franchise quarterback and Pro Bowl running back, among others, for the season.
In 2024, the primary objective is to urge back into the playoffs, but at that point to go at at slightest the AFC Championship amusement, in case not the Super Bowl.
After upgrading the defense within the 2023 offseason, the defense was the strength of the group, wrapping up the season as the No. 1 positioned defense within the NFL, driven by protective coordinator Jim Schwartz.
Because it stands presently, the Browns are almost $5 million beneath the compensation cap per overthecap.com after the exchange for wide receiver Jerry Jeudy and will likely make more space to include to the program. The Browns are anticipated to re-structure or discharge a number of veterans this offseason to put themselves in a position to include a few key players. Denzel Ward and Jedrick Wills has as of now had his contract re-structured. Quarterback Deshaun Watson would be a prime candidate to have his $64 million compensation cap number re-structured.
Common manager Andrew Berry has regularly said the Browns would not be constrained by a lack of assets to form the vital moves they got to make.
“I think where the compensation cap landed, that was within the extend of our projections,” Berry said at the NFL Combine. “I can’t say that we have the number pinpointed. I wouldn’t say that it incorporates a essential affect in terms of our arranging, but clearly there are more accessible dollars over the association, so that seem affect markets appropriately as you think around free organization and extension.”
As the Browns are starting the third-year of Watson’s $230 million ensured contract, the Browns are committed to doing whatever they think is fundamental to put them in a position to compete for a Super Bowl in 2024 and past.
The Browns don’t got to update their program as they have within the past two seasons, As of now, counting the return of harmed players, 16-17 of the 22 starters from 2023 are beneath contract, as of presently in 2024.
We offer our to begin with in a arrangement of steps for the Browns to proceed in their journey to form it back to the playoffs and past. We get it that it is profoundly unlikely all of desires are able to be met but offer a few alternatives for key positions of require.
