The Cleveland Browns spent the 2023 NFL season chasing health and the Baltimore Ravens at the top of the AFC North. The Browns ended up two games behind the eventual division winner after having nothing to play for in Week 18 with the Ravens locking up the AFC North by Week 17.
NFL free agency saw Cleveland mostly keeping their roster together from 2023 with a few additions while Baltimore saw a bunch of veterans fly the coup. In looking to replace the departed J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards in the backfield, Derrick Henry was the Ravens biggest addition this offseason.
