4 Cleveland Browns who should have played their last snap
By Chad Porto
The Cleveland Browns season is all but over and it’s time to what else you have.
There are 10 games left in the Cleveland Browns’ regular season, but unfortunately for them, the trade deadline is coming up. They don’t have the ability to see if they can turn the team around completely before then. Sure, they may beat the Cinncinati Bengals in prime time next week, but then what?
The Browns are all but dead in the water, and while some may be holding out hope that the disgraced star that is Deshaun Watson may be able to lead this team back, even if he isn’t rusty, which he will be, he’d have to play perfectly just like the offense has had to all year just to stay in the game.
That’s too much to ask. He’ll play come the Houston game unless he gets himself in more trouble, which is always possible. He won’t sit this year, as that will pause his contract and make sure his big bump in pay doesn’t start until 2024, which he won’t allow to happen. So instead of looking at the rest of this season as a potential playoff season, fans need to look at the rest of the year as a tryout.
Find out who can play and who can’t.
Andrew Berry has failed to build this team properly but maybe we can find some gems that deserve new deals. Guys who can help who you don’t think might, like your M.J. Stewart’s and Porter Gustin’s.
In order to find that out, some guys have got to go.
