The Daily Dawg Tags brings you all the Cleveland Browns news you need to know.
The Cleveland Browns revamped their offensive line this offseason, but left one spot on the unit unattended to: right guard. After acquiring Wyatt Teller last season and Drew Forbes being healthy, it was not a necessity to add to the position.
However, after three of Cleveland’s guards opted-out of the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including Forbes, the Browns are needing to add depth at guard. Not only depth, however, as the Browns would like to add some competition with Teller.
With a lack of top veteran free agent guards, the Browns were left with few options. They did have one veteran in mind, as they planned on bringing Ronald Leary to Cleveland for a visit with the intent of signing him to a deal.
Today’s featured article discusses Leary’s visit with the Browns on Monday and how he left town without a deal.

The Browns letting Leary leave without a deal is interesting considering it seemed evident they believed they needed to add competition for the starting right guard job. By not signing Leary, the Browns must be liking what they have seen from Teller early on in camp.

Although the Browns did have several veterans on the roster last season, their roster was mostly compiled of young talent who had not experienced massive hype in the NFL.
