The Cleveland Browns are heading into free agency with two objectives in 2024, and that’s to add more playmakers at key positions and to ensure that they have adequate depth throughout the entirety of the roster.
This year’s free agent class is full of players that fit these needs, and the Browns might be focused on adding another pass rusher early on in the process. Za’Darius Smith is most likely on the way out in March, and that would leave a pretty big hole in the pass-rushing department. Adding a player like Carl Lawson would give Cleveland a versatile edge rusher that has the strength and power to be used on the interior as well from time to time, which is something that Jim Schwartz likes to do with his defensive ends.
