By Clay Goodwin
With the 2020 offseason underway, the Browns have made splashes acquiring talent at positions of need. All you need to know about the new Browns.
The Cleveland Browns had some glaring needs to fill entering the offseason. New general manager, Andrew Berry, and the Cleveland front office stated they were going to act aggressively to fill their needs in free agency – and thus far, they have done just that.
Though the official free agency starts on March 18th, the legal tampering period began Monday, March 16th. In the two-day period, the Browns managed to verbally agree to new deals with three free agents and also swung a trade for another player.
The players acquired include tight end Austin Hooper previously from the Atlanta Falcons, right tackle Jack Conklin from the Tennessee Titans, quarterback Case Keenum from the Washington Redskins, and lastly fullback Andy Janovich from the Denver Broncos.
Barring any changes of heart, these four players will be a Cleveland Brown in the next few days, and they are huge pieces to the puzzle. Cleveland lands talented players at positions of need and did so without completely breaking the bank. Given their strong core of talent, additions like these to help become a completely polished team, are what the Browns need and what they have struggled to do in the past.
In this article, we will dive deeper into the new Browns players and how exactly they can impact this team going forward. The Browns will almost certainly make a few more moves in free agency in the next few days, but even thus far they have added great pieces. Let’s take a look at the newly acquired talent for the brown and orange.
