Daily Dawg Tags brings you all the news you need to know in order to keep up with the Cleveland Browns and the rest of the NFL

The Cleveland Browns and all other 31 franchises are slowly moving closer to the start of 2018 NFL free agency. That brings up the question of what the Browns might do.

Sure they’re coming off an 0-16 season and have a record of 1-31 in the past two season, but they could be big players in free agency thanks to having more cap space than any other team. That space will allow them to chase after key players like Malcolm Butler or Trumaine Johnson.

Such a chase is the subject behind today’s Daily Dawg Tags. Let’s look into that possibility and much more as we bring you all the news you need to know.
