What is the story about?
We
already previewed who we believe will make the Browns' 53-man roster, but who are the locks from that group? We wanted to take a look through one last time and decide that before the deadline.
The decisions will be coming quickly here ahead of Sunday's deadline at 6 p.m. EST. There are ways the team may work its way down to 53, whether through releasing players or trading them. Either is an option for the Browns and Andrew Berry as he looks to have this roster in the best shape it can be in heading into the 2026 season.
