With the 2020 draft and most free agent signings in the rearview mirror, the Cleveland Browns roster has begun to take shape. There will still be opportunities for a player to be released closer to the final roster deadline, but that is typically on a limited basis.
For much of the time since the team returned in 1999, the Browns have struggled to put a competitive team on the field. The team was unable to attract free agents to the city and had a long stretch where first-round picks (many top-five picks) were never contributors as expected.
