Browns Rebuild with Draft and Free Agency Strategy

The Cleveland Browns are exploring potential draft prospects and quarterback options amidst their rebuilding efforts following a challenging 3-14 season. They have hosted visits from top prospects like Shedeur Sanders, Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter, and Cam Ward, indicating their interest in securing strong talent for their second overall draft pick. Despite the weak quarterback class, they might delay choosing a quarterback until 2026, considering names like Arch Manning and Cade Klubnik, and could consider free agents such as Carson Wentz and Daniel Jones as stopgap measures. Financially, the Browns face a $22.8 million salary cap deficit, necessitating restructuring of contracts, possibly including Deshaun Watson's, to create space for new signings. The team remains committed to an aggressive approach to strengthen both the offense and defense, aiming for playoff contention in 2025 and beyond.
