The Cleveland Browns have a new coaching staff and front office, which means roster evaluations could take place from all-new perspectives this offseason. Now, free agents who seemed due for new contracts could be leaving town, while others have a better chance to stay.
While it was necessary for the Cleveland Browns to make changes at coaching and in the front office following the team’s dreadful 2015 and the infighting that helped drag the entire team down, the moves away from Mike Pettine, Ray Farmer and company to Hue Jackson, Paul DePodesta, Sashi Brown and a to-be-determined head of personnel means the futures of the Browns’ 2016 crop of free agent players has become far more murky.
