3 things about the Cleveland Browns:

1 – DHop latest

According to a report by ESPN’s Dianna Russini, wide receiver free agent DeAndre Hopkins is leaning towards going to the Tennessee Titans or New England Patriots. In an article in brobible.com, Russini stated “he’s mulling over and trying to come out with a decision with what he wants to do.”

From this report, it sounds like the Browns are out of the running for Hopkins unless something drastically changes.


2 – Running Back Free Agency

There’s been multiple articles and chatter about the Browns picking up a veteran running back.

Currently, the Browns have Nick Chubb and Jerome Ford as the top two backs, with Demetric Felton Jr. after that, and Felton only has a total of eight career carries.

So the need for a third veteran running back makes sense, and the good news is there’s a good list of backs available. Dalvin Cook, Ezekiel Elliott, and Leonard Fournette are looking for teams currently. With that in mind, the Browns don’t need to rush on finding a back if they want one.


3 – Browns alums still FA’s

There are three players who had significant roles on the 2022 Browns team that are currently free agents. Jadeveon Clowney, Kareem Hunt, and John Johnson all are still unsigned.

One year later, it makes a Browns fan wonder and maybe this new crew is a significant boost from last year’s team.
