Cleveland went all out this year to improve their receiver corps.
Gone was Odell Beckham, Jr. during the 2021 season. Jarvis Landry’s lack of production (570 yards) plus the thought of paying him $16.6 million next year found him cut instead. Rashard Higgins was mainly unused during the year with just 275 yards and was allowed to sign elsewhere in free agency now with Carolina. JoJo Natson was hurt more than he played and signed with Detroit.
Donovan Peoples-Jones was no longer a rookie and was expected to play more while the team had drafted two rookie receivers in Demetric Felton and Anthony Schwartz along with other guys who saw the practice squad including Ja’Marcus Bradley, Lawrence Cager and Ryan Switzer.
