Browns projected 53-man roster before training camp starts

With training camp just around the corner, a projection of what the initial 53-man roster could look like when camp ends:

The Cleveland Browns have gone through a myriad of changes so far this offseason and, with training camp and a decision on Deshaun Watson around the corner, are not done yet.

The offseason was full of them. It started off with a bang trading for Amari Cooper. Watson was the other major addition with Chase Winovich, Taven Bryan and Jakeem Grant helping areas of need. Jadeveon Clowney and Anthony Walker returned to help the team’s defense.

The draft added some intriguing talent and depth.

The team has also had some subtractions including the releases of Jarvis Landry, J.C. Tretter and Austin Hooper. Case Keenum was traded to Buffalo while M.J. Stewart signed with the Houston Texans.

Baker Mayfield was traded away last week.

While this is highly unlikely to be the team’s final 53-man roster at the end of training camp, it gives a look at where the roster currently sits. With multiple changes since our last projection, the roster starts to really take shape.

For this iteration, we will assume Watson on the roster to start camp with certainty coming sooner rather than later on his future.
