Cleveland Browns: 3 veteran NFL free agents who could help the team
By Chad Porto
These are three recently released NFL free agents who the Cleveland Browns could use to improve their own team even further.
The Cleveland Browns still have some areas of concern despite their recent camp. The team lost several key players before and during training camp either due to opt-outs or injuries and the team has yet to seriously address some of those issues. For the most part, the Browns seem content on riding into their season debut against the Baltimore Ravens as is. That’s why it’s key to look at the recently veteran NFL free agents who just got cut as options to improve the team.
That’s largely due to the team having a lot of unknown variables that they hope to get some answers on. Until those answers can be gleaned, it’s unlikely the Browns make any real big move to bring in a veteran. After all, why bring in a known variable when you have an unknown variable that could be of greater value?
Talent evaluation is basically just gambling. You know you have X-amount in one veteran but you may be able to get a bigger payout with the unknown upstart. Sometimes you’re right, sometimes you’re wrong. That’s the nature of the game.
So for the Browns to really consider one of these veterans on the list, the team is going to have to know whether some of their young pups are a bust or not. That could take a few weeks or a few years. Yet, when the Browns are ready to start evaluating their talent and making upgrades, these three veteran free agents are just the type of guys that could help the team.
