Snap Counts
Here is a look at the snap counts for the position room last season:
How Many In 2025
The Cleveland Browns are likely to head into the 2025 season with six linebackers on the final 53-man roster. It is most likely to be one on the practice squad.
With how Andrew Berry builds his position rooms they will want to have seven rosterable players on the team if they plan to keep six on the 53 man roster. This way you give yourself protection from injury.
Here is a look at the week one roster for each year Andrew Berry has been the General Manager of the Cleveland Browns. The reason I focus on week one is this removes the randomness of the moves a team makes the day following the initial 53 man roster.
