Browns sign 10 players from practice squad to futures contracts

Browns have signed 10 for offseason workouts

With the 2022 season in the books, the Cleveland Browns have turned their eyes to the offseason and preparing for the 2023 season. For once today, we have some non-defensive coordinator news to report. In doing so they have signed 10 players who all finished the season on the practice squad to futures contracts. This means that the players will take place in off-season workouts as they attempt to make the team for the next season.

Some of the players saw action this year while others just spent the season learning on the practice squad. It will be interesting to see if any turn heads during off-season workouts and in training camp this summer.

What the Browns are getting in Mike Harley

Harley showed well in preseason Game #2 against the Eagles. @JoshKeatley16 took a look at what Harley brings to the table:

The Cleveland Browns signed a number of undrafted free agents and it is no secret that the Cleveland receiving corps is only slightly better than ugly, but among the many undrafted players trying to make an impact is Mike Harley.

We continually discuss this front office and their ability and willingness to overturn every rock to find available talent, but Harley played at a Power-Five school in Miami.

Perhaps I’m being too harsh about the receiver group because Amari Cooper is a legitimate star, Donovan Peoples-Jones is full of untapped potential and Anthony Schwartz is fast, but they showed us very little so far in training camp and the door will be left open for an underdog to breakthrough.

HC Kevin Stefanski has liked what he has seen so far:

Let’s dive into whether or not Harley is that dog that the Browns need:
