BigTexas18

Hall of Famer
Here we go again Browns Nation! Another year coming up under owner Chris Bigtex. This will be the 4th and best season yet. This team was broken when he came in control, but has really turned things around. Last year was his best record at 10-5 and even made it to the Divisional Round of the playoffs! We have a lot to cover so let's go over it.

Offseason
The offseason was an interesting one. We acquired some great free agents and had a draft that should give us the skill set to set us over the top!

Offseason Free Agent Signings.

  • WR Brandin Cooks 24 Years 84 Overall Fast Dev, Does not Drop Open Passes, Feet In Bounds, Run After Catch
  • LT Charles Brown 31 Years 74 Overall
  • RG Trai Turner 25 Years 92 Overall Fast Dev
  • LE Michael Johnson 31 Years 87 Overall DL Spin, Disciplined
  • ROLB Eric Pinkins 27 Years 81 Overall High Motor
  • FS Husain Abdullah 33 Years 83 Overall High Motor
  • K Kyle Brindza 25 Years 67 Overall
This class filled a lot of depth and even garnered some starters in Cooks, Turner, Johnson, and Brindza. There's no doubt the Browns had a plan going in and it worked. The draft was just as good for the Browns!

You really didn't see too much of the real Browns football in preseason. They were tinkering with some new plays, and focusing a lot on their depth chart instead of starters. They finished a 2-2 preseason record, but there was a lot to be proud of! We'll go over the preseason top performers then the position battles and finally the official depth chart, and we will see you week 1! This is by far the best Browns squad that ever was.
