The Cleveland Browns have made a number of moves so far in NFL free agency, but not the volume that we are used to seeing from GM Andrew Berry. The very good 2025 NFL draft class, coupled with nine picks in the 2026 NFL draft class, could be one of the reasons for the less activity.

If the team doesn’t believe they are ready to compete for the NFL playoffs in 2026, spending even more in NFL free agency also doesn’t make sense.

The Browns still have a number of players from their 2025 roster on the free agent market, including OL Joel Bitonio (many assume he will retire) and TE David Njoku (who said goodbye to Cleveland and took a visit with an AFC North rival). There may be a few on this list that are brought back by the Browns near the upcoming NFL draft:

OFFENSIVE PLAYERS

RB Trayveon Williams

WR DeAndre Carter

TE David Njoku

C Ethan Pocic

OG Joel Bitonio

OT Jack Conklin

OT Cam Robinson

DEFENSIVE PLAYERS

DT Shelby Harris

LB Jerome Baker

CB Martin Emerson

CB Sam Webb

S Rayshawn Jenkins
