  • Browns' David Bell: Diminished role expected

    Bell is expected to have a diminished role with the addition of Elijah Moore.

    Bell was Cleveland's leader with 236 snaps as the slot receiver last season, per Pro Football Focus. While he was serviceable in that role, the Browns felt an upgrade was needed and traded for Moore, who was the Jets' leading slot receiver in 2022 with 255 snaps. The Browns also added Marquise Goodwin, another slot-heavy receiver, which should further negatively impact Bell's playing time in 2023.

  • Browns' Anthony Schwartz: Drops further on depth chart

    Schwartz (concussion) drops further down the depth chart following Cleveland's acquisitions of Elijah Moore and Marquise Goodwin.

    The Browns went into the offseason with the goal of giving Deshaun Watson more weapons on offense, and the additions of Moore and Goodwin are a start. Cleveland can trot out Amari Cooper, Donovan Peoples-Jones, Moore and Goodwin when it wants to run four-wide sets. It's hard to see the team giving Schwartz (who has had the offseason to recover from a concussion he sustained last December) more chances after the 2021 third-round selection has disappointed over his first two seasons. Along with Schwartz, one can add Demetric Felton and Michael Woods onto the pile of wideouts that shouldn't get much work if they manage to stick with the team.

  • Browns' Wes Martin: Expected to sign with Cleveland

    The Browns are expected to sign Martin later this week, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Martin was drafted by the Commanders in the fourth round of the 2019 Draft but has struggled to crave out an NFL role since. He returned to Washington in 2022 and served as a depth option at both guard spots after spending time with the Giants in 2021.

  • Browns' Marquise Goodwin: Inks deal with Cleveland

    The Browns signed Goodwin to a one-year contract Friday, ESPN's Field Yates reports.

    Turning 33 later this year, Goodwin is coming off a 2022 campaign with the Seahawks that saw him catch 27 passes for 387 yards and four touchdowns as the third receiver behind Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf. In Cleveland, Goodwin joins fellow newcomer Elijah Moore alongside Amari Cooper and Donovan Peoples-Jones in the Browns' revamped wideout room. At this stage, Goodwin should be past the shoulder and wrist issues that cost him the final two games of last season.

  • Browns' Elijah Moore: Traded to Cleveland

    The Jets traded Moore and a 2023 third-round pick to the Browns on Wednesday in exchange for a 2023 second-round pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    With the Jets having already signed Allen Lazard and Mecole Hardman (groin) in free agency this offseason to complement incumbent starting wideouts Garrett Wilson and Corey Davis, the team's decision to part ways with Moore doesn't come as an overly surprising one. Moore, a 2021 second-round pick, posted 43 receptions for 538 yards and five scores on 77 targets across 11 appearances as a rookie, but he had a disappointing sophomore campaign, securing just 37 of 65 targets for 446 yards and one score over 16 games. The soon-to-be 23-year-old will get a fresh start in Cleveland and will presumably compete with Donovan Peoples-Jones and David Bell for a sizable role behind No. 1 receiver Amari Cooper.

  • Browns' Anthony Walker: Stays with Cleveland

    Walker (quadriceps) agreed Wednesday with the Browns on a one-year deal, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Walker appeared in only three games for the Browns last season before suffering a torn quad and being shut down after requiring surgery. The veteran linebacker should be able to return to full health ahead of the upcoming season and will likely be in line to serve as the Browns' starting middle linebacker.
