After a flurry of changes this offseason, the Cleveland Browns added to every position group on their roster. One of the position groups that did not receive much attention from the new front office was the linebacker group, which saw the departures of two starters in Joe Schobert and Christian Kirksey.
With Kirksey and Schobert moving on, the Browns seemingly had holes across the board at linebacker. Despite these departures, the front office did not make any big moves to the group, only signing B.J. Goodson to a one-year deal and drafting Jacob Phillips in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
