The current roster has a few holes that need to be filled for the Cleveland Browns if they are to make the playoffs next season. What better teams to try to sign players from than the four teams playing for a chance to play in the Super Bowl this year? There are many good players who will be available to the Browns from the remaining four teams.
The Browns need to redo the first seven on defense and add some talent to the safety room. The team doesn’t have to make the signing of the year, but the addition of useful starters in positions of need is essential.
