The Cleveland Browns wide receiver depth chart has undergone some significant changes since this time last year. A year ago, hope was running rampant with Odell Beckham Jr. working to return from ACL surgery to rejoin Jarvis Landry and a Browns team that was fresh off a playoff appearance and postseason victory.
Instead, Beckham was released right after the NFL’s trading deadline while Landry had his worst season ever. Donovan Peoples-Jones failed to capitalize on the increased opportunities after having a breakout training camp.
Landry joined Beckham in free agency when Cleveland released him at the start of the league year. There were reports that the veteran receiver had reached out about joining Deshaun Watson in Atlanta had the quarterback chosen the Falcons. After Watson joined the Browns, another report came out that the team was pursuing Landry’s return to Cleveland.
