The Cleveland Browns have made a number of moves so far in NFL free agency, but not the volume that we are used to seeing from GM Andrew Berry. The very good 2025 NFL draft class, coupled with nine picks in the 2026 NFL draft class, could be one of the reasons for the less activity.
If the team doesn’t believe they are ready to compete for the NFL playoffs in 2026, spending even more in NFL free agency also doesn’t make sense.
