Cleveland Browns: All-Time roster

We pay tribute to the greatest with this All-time roster made up of the best players to ever suit up for the Cleveland Browns.

In spite of a poor record as of late, there have been a lot of strong players to suit up for the Cleveland Browns that have performed incredibly well for the franchise. That’s bound to happen when you have a team that’s been around as long as they have.

Originally founded in 1946, the Browns were a part of the All-America Football Conference until the 1949 season. Once that league folded, they moved on to join the NFL. They stayed there until 1995 when owner Art Modell moved the franchise to Baltimore.

Thankfully for the amazing fans in Cleveland, Modell changed the team name to the Ravens and left all the history for the franchise in Ohio — where it belonged. Also thankfully, the NFL knew the fans there deserved to have their team back and in 1999, the Browns returned as an expansion team.

With the history remaining in the city of Cleveland, the Browns were able to continue to add to their already strong presence. Here we look back over all that time and select the players that make up the all-time Cleveland Browns roster.
