The Cleveland Browns have had a unique offseason primarily due to their own decisions. The organization’s history says they can’t do anything normally and it was on display in 2022:

- Trade for WR Amari Cooper
- Cut WR Jarvis Landry, TE Austin Hooper and OL J.C. Tretter
- Trade for QB Deshaun Watson despite lingering legal issues that, eventually, led to an 11-game suspension.
- Trade QB Baker Mayfield before knowing the outcome of Watson’s discipline
- Signed DT Taven Bryan for one season
- Despite already trading their first-rounder, they traded down out of the second round leaving their first pick to come in the third round
- Brought back DE Jadeveon Clowney on a one-year deal
- The team kept RB Kareem Hunt and D’Ernest Johnson despite amazing depth at the position and each set for free agency next year
- Stuck with WR Anthony Schwartz despite significant struggles catching the football
- Claimed QB Kellen Mond despite his significant struggles during the preseason in a similar system in Minnesota
