The Cleveland Browns join the rest of the NFL with the legal tampering period opened at noon on Monday. The Browns are looking to get back to the playoffs after a rough 2021 season full of injuries, drama and COVID-related problems.
The team has already made a big move agreeing to acquire WR Amari Cooper in a trade with the Dallas Cowboys. The veteran receiver has been highly productive in his two stops and gives Cleveland a top receiver to help their struggling passing attack.
The team’s needs don’t stop there as the defensive line currently has one starting level quality player under contract with Myles Garrett. Jadeveon Clowney does not seem likely to return as he is looking for a big payday.
Prior to free agency kicking off, we’ve brought you three versions of a mock offseason. Mock 1.0 included trading for Calvin Ridley and keeping Clowney but neither of those is likely (or possible with Ridley suspended). Mock 2.0 had two different versions. One included trading for Deshaun Watson, the other building around Baker Mayfield.
Here we will keep track of as many rumors as well possibly can as the tampering period opens. To assist, we will try to put the most recent information near the top but scroll through so you don’t miss a thing.
