Cleveland Browns

With a 5-3 record, the Browns are currently in third place in the AFC North and need a little help to get to the playoffs. The Pittsburgh Steelers look like a postseason lock and the Baltimore Ravens should be right there with them, possibly leaving Cleveland on the outside looking in.

There isn’t a lack of talent on the Browns roster by any means, but their weakest link is the right side of the offensive line. However, the unit could be a lot better with a little help when it comes to blocking defenders.

The team has been dealing with injuries this season and COVID-19 issues. This would be a great opportunity to provide competition and depth to see if they can improve their situation without spending too much money.

Cleveland will need to do something if they want to grab a Wild Card spot in the playoffs this season and a low-risk addition like this would allow them to test the waters without investing too much in a highly competitive division.
