The bigger questions are whether stars like CB Denzel Ward and S Grant Delpit will be extended or traded this season. Our looks at the Browns different depth charts show a lack of veteran names Cleveland fans are used to seeing:

Quarterback • >Running back • >Wide receiver • >Tight end • >Offensive lineWe followed that up with the defensive side of the ball:

Defensive tackle • >Linebacker • >Safety • >Cornerback • >Defensive endWhat if GM Andrew Berry and HC Todd Monken decide that the team needs to add some veteran talent to help the roster in 2026? NFL free agency has been going on for months, but really never ends. There are a lot of interesting, big names still available to be signed if Berry and Monken want to try to infuse experience into a young roster:

RB Nick Chubb • >WR Stefon Diggs • >DE Joey Bosa • >WR Deebo Samuel • >OL Kevin Zeitler • >TE Jonnu Smith • >OL Mekhi Becton • >DE Jadeveon Clowney (highly doubtful) • >LB Bobby Wagner • >DE Haason Reddick • >RB Najee Harris • >WR DeAndre Hopkins • >WR Tyreek Hill • >CB Trevon DiggsAlmost everyone wants a Chubb return.

class="wp-block-paragraph">With the departure of Myles Garrett, Bosa and Reddick could get the most interest from the Browns. The remade offensive line still needs to put together who will play center and right guard, which could open up a return for Zeitler, while Wagner’s leadership and experience could be helpful on the defensive side of the ball.

class="wp-block-paragraph">Given the young talent at wide receiver, it seems unlikely one of the big veteran names on the list will be added, but Berry and Monken could see a need after offseason activities.

class="wp-block-paragraph">For Cleveland to add a big-name veteran in free agency at the start of training camp, one of three things would likely be true:

A major injury • >Young player(s) are not ready to contribute • >GM and HC believe the roster is ready to compete for the AFC North this yearTwo of the three would be negative reasons, but the third would be very positive.

Of the names listed above, which one do you think the Browns should sign? Do you think Berry should be looking for additional veterans or stick with the young roster?
