When Hue Jackson took over in Cleveland, the league was put on notice. That notice? If Jackson is given time and control, the Cleveland Browns would be a threat not only in the AFC North but league-wide.
Perhaps a 1-15 record was not quite the expectation of Jackson’s Browns in year one. However, a winning season probably wasn’t in the cards either.
The Browns got better at multiple positions this offseason, starting with luring Kevin Zeitler from the Bengals. Zeitler will surely be missed in Cincinnati. Although, in Cleveland, he has provided an instant boost.
