This is what Cleveland Browns should do at wide receiver

While the Cleveland Browns have made several key moves so far this off-season, wide receiver remains a position of need that will be addressed soon.

In the pass-happy NFL, you have to have an elite quarterback and a dynamic group of pass-catchers. With the blockbuster trade for Deshaun Watson, the Cleveland Browns have the elite quarterback.

Trading for Amari Cooper is a big step in the right direction to improve the wide receiver room. However, there is still a lot of work to be done.

Andrew Berry has to consider all options at receivers, and luckily there are plenty in the draft and free agency. But there is one route he should take to finalize the wide receiver room.

Cleveland Browns WR plan: Bring back Jarvis Landry

There are few players as beloved in Cleveland as Jarvis Landry. During his time with the Browns, he racked up 288 receptions for 3,560 yards and 15 touchdowns. Those stats helped him earn two trips to the Pro Bowl during that stretch.

In addition to what he can do on the field, he is also a tremendous leader and well respected in the locker room.

Despite all of this, the Browns released Landry due to his hefty salary that wasn’t justified because of his production. He is good, but not an elite wideout.

There have been reports of mutual interest between the Browns and Landry reuniting, this being sparked even more with the trade for Deshaun Watson. For the right price, bringing back Landry would be a great move. A one or two-year deal at about $8 million a season is reasonable.

Cleveland Browns WR plan: Draft Treylon Burks

There has been speculation as of late that Arkansas wide receiver Treylon Burks will fall out of the first round of the 2022 draft. If he does, Andrew Berry could move up from pick 44 to select him, similar to how he moved up to take Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah in 2021.

This scenario would require the draft board to fall perfectly for Cleveland, but it isn’t impossible at all. Every year, certain players fall in the draft so maybe Burks can be one of those in this draft.

He possesses immense talent and is a great athlete that can line up all over the field. Part of the reason why teams do not seem as hot on him anymore is that he had a fairly lackluster combine and pro day.

Running a 4.55 40-yard dash will make some general managers back off, even though it is still a fine time for his size. If he makes his way to the second round, do not be surprised to see Andrew Berry act fast and move up for him.

If both of these moves happen, the Browns would potentially have one of the best wide receiver rooms in football. It would consist of Amari Cooper, Jarvis Landry, Treylon Burks, Donovan Peoples-Jones, Anthony Schwartz, and Jakeem Grant. That is a very versatile group that could keep defenses guessing.

Andrew Berry has shown time and time again how aggressive he can be if the right opportunity arises. It will be no different here.
