The Cleveland Browns are hoping to make upgrades to their roster this offseason while trying to bring back a few players as well. TE David Njoku got the franchise tag this week while the team also placed a tender on three players making the exclusive rights free agents.
DE Jadeveon Clowney is not the team’s biggest free agent with DB M.J. Stewart and DB Ronnie Harrison falling in behind him on defense. D’Ernest Johnson could be a restricted free agent if the team tenders him, if not he will be unrestricted.
Not all of those players are expected to be back and decisions related to WR Jarvis Landry, OL J.C. Tretter, QB Case Keenum and TE Austin Hooper could free up even more cap space.
