Cleveland Browns: 4 questions about the 2022 NFL Schedule Release
By John Suchan
The 2022 NFL Schedule is being released on Thursday night. The Cleveland Browns will have many questions answered. Let’s discuss a few of those questions.
The NFL schedule release has become a huge production over the last several years. With that comes tons of speculation and the anticipation for fans can make us all a little batty.
It might not be as exciting as the recent NFL Draft but it’s a highlight for many teams, especially those teams that generally struggle during the actual season. This is like a grand holiday like Christmas and New Year’s when you can dream a bit and get visions of your favorite players making spectacular plays and helping their team to a Super Bowl win!
For Cleveland Browns fans, after the schedule came out a year ago, they were giving their early guesses as to a season record. The team was coming off of a solid season where they won a playoff game and beat the Pittsburgh Steelers twice. Predictions of winning 11 or 12 games seemed in the cards. Instead, the team finished at 8-9 and missed the playoffs.
Much has changed in a year. The biggest news is that Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield is on his way out and former Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson is now the franchise quarterback. This abrupt change has made this schedule release even more anticipated because it might give us some hints as to how the NFL looks at all of this offseason shuffling by the Browns.
There are dozens of questions about what is going to happen to Cleveland over this next season and beyond. But first, let’s focus on this schedule release coming up at 8 pm eastern.
