NFL free agency came and went with the Cleveland Browns using their resources to build up the depth on their roster ahead of the 2025 NFL draft.
However, with the draft now right around the corner, the Browns still have a lot of work to do. They still only have one healthy quarterback on the roster, a middling running back room, a potential hole at left tackle depending on the status of Dawand Jones, and a void in their safety room. There are also depth pieces to fill in around the edges of the roster as well.
Allowed to carry 90 players into training camp, the Browns currently sit with only 67 players and just 10 draft picks. That means the Browns still have 13 roster spots to fill with veteran free agents or undrafted free agents if they use all ten of their picks without trading out of one. So what could a final 53-man roster look like?
With three weeks to go until the NFL draft, and after the first two waves of NFL free agency, here is a best guess at what a way-too-early Browns' 53-man roster could look like by the end of training camp:
