The Cleveland Browns Offseason
The Good: Signing John Johnson III
The Cleveland Browns front seven has been monstrous the past two seasons with their only real issues being the secondary. The Browns have slowly but surely improved the secondary threw the draft and free agency but John Johnson III could be the final piece to there defensive puzzle. He'll make the back end of the defense one of the best in the AFC and could push the Browns over the edge as a Super Bowl contender.
The Bad: Losing Larry Ogunjobi
The Cleveland Browns lost Larry Ogunjobi in free agency which does leave a considerable hole in the middle of the front seven. Ogunjobi proved himself to be an above average defensive lineman in the NFL with Cleveland with a good presence against both run and pass defense. They Browns will have to find his replacement in the draft hope said player can quickly fill the space left behind.
The Ugly: Signing Troy Hill
The Browns have done a great job in free agency but the Troy Hill move to me is confusing. Troy Hill is a decent slot cornerback in the NFL but paying slot corners has yet to be a reliable investment in the pros. Troy Hill played in defense that featured star talent all around him like Jalen Ramsey, Aaron Donald, and his teammate in John Johnson III. Hopefully he carves out a big role in Cleveland's defense but he's certainly going to have to do more on the Browns than he did in LA.
