The first two years under GM Andrew Berry and HC Kevin Stefanski have been a bit of a roller coaster for the Cleveland Browns. With Stefanski hired first and Berry coming along shortly after, the Browns brass were focused on creating “alignment” among their organization.
Berry kicked off the 2020 offseason quickly with the signings of Jack Conklin and Austin Hooper while showing similar aggressiveness in free agency in 2021. His drafts have also produced some high-quality players while leaving some room for growth in his selections in the middle rounds.
Stefanski’s even-keeled approach and offensive system guided Cleveland to the playoffs in their first season but struggled in his sophomore season. Presnap penalties, after whistle blunders and discord among the players, specifically surrounding Odell Beckham Jr. and Baker Mayfield, left some questioning the leadership of the coaching staff.
