The Cleveland Browns have made a lot of moves this offseason to improve a roster that went 11 – 5 last season, beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the playoffs and almost beat the Kansas City Chiefs to make it to the AFC Championship Game.
The 2021 offseason included some big-name additions including John Johnson III and Jadeveon Clowney. The team did lose some depth pieces (Terrance Mitchell, Kendall Lamm) and special teams players (Tavierre Thomas, Tae Davis) in the midst of the turnover as well.
The team also reached a contract extension with Nick Chubb to keep him tied to the team for another three seasons.
In the first round of the NFL draft, held in Cleveland, the Browns added Greg Newsome II to help combat the high-flying offenses in the AFC.
None of those were noted as the team’s best offseason move by Bleacher Report’s Brent Sobleski:
Last season, the Browns featured the league’s least-talented linebacker corps. Owusu-Koramoah brings a completely different dynamic with his sideline-to-sideline speed, comfort in coverage and ability to play numerous positions.
Important to note that while Sobleski covers the NFL nationally and is a great draft analyst, he spent years covering the Browns and knows the team well.
His notes on Owusu-Koramoah are interesting. The new Browns linebacker brings something to the team that it lacks with his versatility and speed.
While Johnson and Clowney may be better in 2021, Owusu-Koramoah brings a uniqueness to the team making him Sobleski’s best offseason move of 2021.
