Browns Listed as Most Improved Team Through Free Agency
Cleveland Browns have made some good moves and some not so good moves in the past few years during free agency. So far this season, multiple members of ESPN believe the Browns are among the most improved teams.
The Browns have went out and added players to their defensive line, a safety, a tight end, and a couple of special teams players. Cleveland resigned Sione Takitaki, Ethan Pocic, A.J. Green to name a few.
Here's what ESPN had to say about the Browns.
Matt Bowen, NFL analyst: Cleveland Browns. The Browns made some savvy moves to upgrade their defense. Edge rusher Ogbonnia Okoronkwo and defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson bolster the Cleveland front, and safety Juan Thornhill brings much-needed post range and ball skills to the Cleveland secondary.
Jordan Reid, NFL draft analyst: Browns. The Browns had major holes along the defensive line and at safety. Tomlinson, one of the top defensive free agents on the open market, was the team's marquee signing. The former Vikings interior defender is exactly what the Browns needed, as the middle of their defense struggled mightily last season. Okoronkwo brings more pressure off of the edge and a lot of versatility. And signing Thornhill following the release of John Johnson III was a swap for a better player and one that better fits the free safety role in new defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz's scheme.
Cleveland is currently getting their flowers for making some off-season moves. But fans and everyone around will want to see the product put to use on the field, not just an off-season award winner. At this point the Browns led by GM Andrew Berry have done a good job, now they have to continue it through the off-season.
