The final week of the 2019 preseason is here and Cleveland Browns fans have to be stoked for the regular season to kick off. Following a summer full of hype, the new-look Browns are ready to get after it — but that doesn’t mean there are no concerns.
In their latest preseason game, Cleveland’s offensive line was exploited by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Baker Mayfield was under constant duress and the running game couldn’t get rolling.
This has some who follow the team wondering if there are some options out there in the trade market to make some much-needed improvements to the line.

Dudukovich pointed out that the recent retirement due to nagging injuries of Andrew Luck is a stark reminder of why you need to protect your franchise quarterback. Indianapolis waited too long to fix their line, the Browns can’t repeat that mistake.
"“2. But the Browns played their entire starting offensive line into the third quarter. Quarterback Baker Mayfield played the first half. They were facing a Tampa team that ranked 27th in overall defense a year ago, 31st in points allowed.3. That’s why I’m a bit alarmed by what happened in Tampa, especially with the blocking. The longest run of the night was David Blough, the No. 4 QB. He scrambled for 12 yards.”"
The most concerning thing in regards to the poor line play against Tampa is the fact Pluto stated, they weren’t facing an elite defense.
