The Cleveland Browns head into what might be a strange season overall, given their veteran-laden and expensive roster, but with close to zero expectations. With Joe Flacco installed as the starting quarterback, the Browns seem like they want to compete for wins this season but have three younger options as well as the most important position.
Chris Pokorny always gives the official DBN initial 53-man roster prediction, but this year, we wanted to give you more, so you can find all of our 53-man roster predictions
