4 Cleveland Browns who should be headed elsewhere in 2022

No. 2: Cleveland Browns S Ronnie Harrison
When the Browns lost Grant Delpit to a torn Achilles ahead of the 2020 season, Andrew Berry went out and made a savvy move. Berry landed former third-round pick Ronnie Harrison, Jr. in a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
For a mere fifth-round pick, Cleveland landed a player who had 38 tackles, one sack, one interception, and seven pass defenses in 11 games. He nearly made several other big plays and much was expected this year now that he had a full season in Joe Woods’ defense.
While Harrison has put up 58 tackles as well as another pick and sack, he hasn’t been as impactful as he was in his first season wearing the orange and brown. The 6-foot-3, 214-pound safety has performed well when playing near the line of scrimmage but when asked to play in coverage, he’s struggled.
Harrison has also been flagged often this season and even lost his cool in Week 1 when he was ejected against the Chiefs. In that game, Kansas City assistant coach Greg Lewis should have also been ejected since he started an altercation with a player, but Harrison needed to maintain his cool and didn’t do so.
Like other players on this list, Harrison is a good player but will probably find himself being replaced in the coming offseason.
