With the Vikings having a new GM and head coach, will they be cleaning house? Here are a few targets the Cleveland Browns should be interested in.

The Cleveland Browns seem to take two steps forward and then five steps back. The 2020 season ended with a playoff appearance, a playoff win, and the fanbase feeling like the organization was finally headed in the right direction.

A stellar offseason of building the defense would then lead to a disappointing 8-9 record, no trip back to the playoffs, and a ton of questions, especially at the quarterback position. Oh yeah, now Hue Jackson is going public that the organization was purposely tanking during his tenure to stock up on draft picks.

I’m not old enough to remember the Browns before 1999, but even I feel like this organization can’t catch a break. I see the footage every season of the drive and the fumble but didn’t even live through it.

I still believe that Andrew Berry and Kevin Stefanski are the proper duo to get through this mess. Berry has proven to be a great talent evaluator and a good negotiator in his first two seasons with the team.  Stefanski has a great calmness about him that can be infectious.

I’m ready to call 2021 a fluke, but Berry must be busy this offseason to make sure he gets this roster right. There are a ton of questions at wide receiver, quarterback, and defensive line that must be addressed via free agency or the draft.

Keep in mind, Browns for executive, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah is now the general manager in Minnesota.  Will that open trades between the organization? Here are three players the Browns could target.
