I know the Browns will make a few moves and the final 53 will not come 100% from their current roster. Here is my prediction from the current roster

QB - Watson, Sanders, Gabriel

RB - Judkins, Sampson, Sanders

TE - Fannon, Ryan, Whitehurst

WR - KC, Boston, Bond, Juedy, Wallace, Corley

T - Fano, Howard, Jones

G - Jenkins, Johnson, Zinter, Barber

C - Jenkins, Brailsford, Wyplier

LS - Sunhara

K - Szmyt

P - Bojorquez

DE - Verse, McGuire, Barnett, Huntington

DT - Graham, Collins, Davis, Hall, Camara

LB - Schwesinger, Williams, Arnold, Watson, Reid, Jefferson

CB - Ward, Campbell, Harden, Blackman, Ross, Coates

S - Delpit, Hickman, Warran, McMillan

Take Wypler off and add Taylen Green back on. I think they're intruiged with him, and don't think he'd get past waivers.

Looks pretty good. I think Wes Pahl will unseat Bojorquez at punter
Coats Jr. will probably be on the injured reserve list so he won’t take up a roster spot until he comes back. I think we probably trade for one corner and pick one off of waivers so I can see Ross making the initial 53. Kingsley Eguakun might be a surprise keeper at the expense of Wypler. Wypler might have some trade value if they go that route.

The only other thing I see differently is Taylen Green making the roster. Normally a 6th round QB that is fourth string would sail through waivers but I think he might be an exception. He is so athletic and that showed Thursday night. He can easily be QB 3 and be used in packages just for him. I think Gabriel is gone. Maybe a late round pick or pick swap.

Juedy, Wallace, Corley are all replaceable

I expect Juedy, Shedeur and Corley to be gone.

I don't think Jeudy is going anywhere with how his contract appears to be set up.

Put SS on PS. Hope that all cuts get us something for trade value. Green looked great; would not survive waiver wire IMO. I think we need to glom onto 2 defensive players; at least one a CBm maybe other at DE.

It's a shame about Floriea. Fan fav. Hope he makes the PS

Jeody will be here. No one is going to take on that contract, and we don't have the cap space to cut him. His dead cap hit would be almost $30 million.

It's the same reason we can't cut Watson.

Dam. Can someone post the cuts .. I hope the kid gets picked by another team and goes on to shine !

I assume you are talking about Floriea. He is still on the team and practicing today.

I expect all 4 QBs to make it unless we can trade Gabriel to the Phins

about what I expected

Got some nice pieces on that list

Why doesn't anybody want to trade Sanders ? Gabriel has looked the best of all 4 QBs and Green has the most going for him athletically. Cap Hell for this year, if we get rid of Watson. That leaves .... Sanders. Wobbly ball, no arm, throws floaters, regularly overthrows the receivers, doesn't read the defense and holds the ball too long. Does Deion own a share of the Browns ?

Well, he does have an engaging personality!😃

Heck, I would release him so I would be thrilled to trade him.

The question is are there teams out there who would want him? I suppose a few would take a shot.

I agree. I think he is a better guard than a tackle. It was brutal a few games last year watching him try to play tackle. I think he almost made the team, but Zak Zinter had a couple really good games in the preseason. Good games don't happen by accident they are usually accompanied by some good practices. I think that is why he is on the practice squad and not the 53-man line up. Let's hope the tackles can stay healthy and if he does get called up it is at guard and not tackle.

Savvy move with Gabriel.

As for trading Sanders, he hasn't exactly shown enough to even guarantee we'd get back the 5th rounder we spent for him, but if we could get that and there's another player who would be more valuable to the team, we should do it.

I think the timeline for Gabriel to return will determine some things. His injury designation gives us the luxury of keeping all four, but that decision is just delayed.

This reminded me of the time Dave Castro said, when asked about the lesser known names that make it to the Crossfit Games every year that just don't seem to stand a chance: "It's amazing how good you have to be in order to suck at the Games."

It's crazy how good you have to be just to be considered someone that sucks at the NFL level. I mean, think about it - that guy had to be among the best around him to even get looked at, which means he was worlds better than the vast majority.

And that's the thing. We are always judged by the talent we are surrounded by at every level. That's a big part of why it's so difficult to get the draft right.

That is so true Pit. Makes me think how scouts look at a player's performance and grade them. I wonder if they look at a guy on the left or right side of a lineman and think the other two are crushing it and carrying the guy.

Or if that specific player is what helps the other two bring out their strengths.

Or because the group as a whole works hand in hand very well due to simple facts they just mesh together. Idk

He's so bad. I agree completely
