"In fact, it seems as many as four receiver spots on this team are already decided, meaning the room for the rest of the wideouts currently on the roster to make the final 53-man list is less than usual. Instead of 10 guys battling for three or four jobs, it’s nine essentially fighting for a grand total of two (plus practice squad consideration)."
Even with the Browns establishing a strong top of the wide receiver depth chart, they were continually adding talent to the group this offseason. With how many players are battling for the final two spots on the wide receiver depth chart, it will be one of the most entertaining position battles to watch during training camp.
Will the Browns still try to trade Duke Johnson to Tampa Bay?
The Cleveland Browns have been unable to find a trade partner for Duke Johnson yet, despite several teams looking like fits. Randy Gurzi wonders if the Buccaneers are still a fit for Johnson and if the Browns will try to make a move with Tampa Bay.
"The relationship is an ideal fit, but according to at least one report, the transition hasn’t gone as smoothly as planned and Kitchens is playing a larger role in the offense than originally intended.Here’s why Browns fans shouldn’t expect this to be an issue heading into the season."
Although there has been a lot of excitement about the combination of Freddie Kitchens and Todd Monken, it is not surprising to see some sort of growing pains. Cleveland is now meshing two different offenses, not including the new blocking scheme of James Campen, so the small issues of setting up the offense are going to happen.
