The 2025 NFL season is almost 6 months away, but the league has done a great job of making themselves a 365-day sport despite having the shortest regular season among the three major sports. NFL free agency kicked off in early March shortly after the NFL combine started the NFL draft process. Soon the NFL draft will get all the focus.
For now, the Cleveland Browns have made a few moves but still have a lot of players on the NFL free agent market. A few of Cleveland’s free agents have signed deals but the team still needs to answer their quarterback question. Trading for QB Kenny Pickett is probably not enough.
As it stands, with the additions of Pickett, OT Cornelius Lucas, DT Maliek Collins and Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, along with bringing back LB Devin Bush, the Browns current depth chart is as follows:
Quarterback
Starter - Kenny Pickett
