Not even close. It does mean GM Andrew Berry could be selective in adding veteran free agents to the roster. If the team is hoping to compete for the playoffs, a few veterans could be helpful to the roster. Full disclosure, this article was initially about three players, but the first two on the list were added as obvious choices that fans would get behind.<\/p>\n<p>NFL Free Agency: 5 Players the Browns should sign<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Where he would start could be a question, with Zion Johnson as the left guard of the future, but bringing back Bitonio would slide Elgton Jenkins to center for sure and keep Teven Jenkins in a backup role. One last chance to play for, hopefully, a good orange and brown team. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawgsbynature.com\/post\/yfMOFeMqjZAz\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Johnnyjmac made the argument for Bitonio\u2019s return<\/a> in The Feed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Even if Chubb is a \u201cwashed\u201d version of himself, Cleveland doesn\u2019t have a third-down back they can trust in pass protection right now, unless FB Michael Burton is used. Chubb can still be helpful after a mediocre season, compared to his best, last year for the Houston Texans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Like the first two names on the list, Bosa is more name than game at this point in time, but still can be productive. With AJ Epenesa having his deal voided after the physical, Berry can turn to another former Bills edge rusher to provide a few quality snaps per game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Still just 27 years old, Diggs went from a top-level cornerback to looking for a job in record time. A two-time Pro Bowler, Diggs could be a buy-low candidate for any team but might be waiting for an injury to unlock a potential starting spot. In Cleveland, Diggs can provide depth on the outside behind Denzel Ward and Tyson Campbell.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Like his brother, Diggs has seen a very fast fall from grace on and off the field. Cleared this week of legal issues, Diggs had over 1,000 yards receiving last year and can provide a product option as the Browns rookies develop. KC Concepcion could learn a lot of route-running nuances from the four-time Pro Bowler.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Which of the 5 do you think the Browns should sign? Which would be a bad addition to the team?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Share your free agent options thoughts in the comment section below or start your own, like Johnnyjmac did, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawgsbynature.com\/feed\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DBN\u2019s Feed<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"That doesn\u2019t mean the Browns roster is perfect.
