3 Packers the Cleveland Browns should look at in free agency

Three Green Bay Packers the Cleveland Brown should look at in free agency.
The Green Bay Packers are boycotting the Super Bowl for the 11th time in as many years. The once-feared Pack-attack is anything but these days. Aaron Rodgers absolutely tanked it in the 2022 playoffs and was only upstaged, albeit just barely, by his even more disappointing special teams.
Losing, once again, at home in January is not a custom the Packers like. With the building drama between Rodgers and the Packers organization, it seems likely he’s on his way out. There’s a team-opt out for this offseason, and Rodgers can just end the contract after the 2022 season regardless, so it seems like the perfect time to move on from him. Considering his ill feelings towards the team and desire to get traded heading into 2021, it’s the safest bet to make in all of football that Rodgers will be gone this off-season.
Coupled that with the aging, yet still masterful Devante Adams, who may also be gone in 2022, that leaves the Packers in a bit of a mess for this upcoming season.
It doesn’t seem likely that either man will be back in Green Bay, not with their crippling salary cap issues and their aging roster. Sure, they can try to run it back one more time but with the financial restrictions they’re under, that means a lot of top talent will need to go. Letting top talent go doesn’t seem like a prudent thing to do if you want to win a Super Bowl. So they’re at an impasse; reduce the talent on the offensive line and defense, and try to get cheaper options, or just start anew?
Should the Packers start anew, there are some potential free agents the Cleveland Browns may want to keep an eye on.
