As the Cleveland Browns look to keep their competitive window open, could they look at players like running back J.K. Dobbins or linebacker Jordyn Brooks in free agency?
Do not expect the Browns, led by general manager Andrew Berry, to sit on their hands this offseason. They can easily clear the necessary cap space to once again be as aggressive as they were a year ago to continue to improve their roster.
Expect the Browns to take one or two big swings, but their roster improvements will likely come in the form of under-the-radar contributors they find on a bargain. Defensive end Ogbo Okoronkwo, defensive tackle Maurice Hurst, and safety Rodney McLeod fit this mold from a year ago.
Who can they find in the margins this year to bulk up their depth while also finding day-one contributors when free agency rolls around? Here are 11 players who would make stellar bang-for-buck signings for Berry and the Browns to pursue when the new league year arrives.
