Cleveland Browns roster spots are in short supply for 2019

Last year, the Cleveland Browns had about 30 new faces, give or take, on the opening day 53-player roster, meaning that there were only about 23 holdovers, which is shocking. The huge turnover is a stunning indictment of the low quality of the roster in the pre-John Dorsey era. There were a lot of players on the 2017 0-16 Browns that simply did not belong in the NFL.

Despite the huge turnover, the Browns managed to win seven games, which is an astonishing achievement under the circumstances. Few, if any, NFL teams have added seven wins at the same time as they added 30 new players.
