The Browns' roster is pretty loaded top to bottom, but they could have a hole in one very important category heading into 2024.
The Cleveland Browns boast one of the NFL's best rosters on paper heading into 2024. The fact that they managed to win 11 games in spite of rifling through five different starting quarterbacks last season is supporting evidence to that statement.As a matter of fact, Cleveland—which finished No. 1 in defense last year—may have a weakness at linebacker going into training camp.
Cleveland only has one returning starter from 2023 at the position: Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, who is coming off of a breakout year. Otherwise, the Browns have nothing but question marks. The club signed Jordan Hicks and Devin Bush to combat the losses of Anthony Walker and Sione Takitaki in free agency, but it remains to be seen how the two veterans will fit into Cleveland's scheme.
Hicks is productive, but he is on his fourth NFL team for a reason. Meanwhile, Bush logged just 37 tackles with the Seattle Seahawks last season. Fortunately, the Browns are outstanding at the other levels of their defense. Their defensive line and their secondary are both among the best in the league, and while Walker and Takitaki certainly meshed well with the rest of the unit, it's not like they were world-beaters at linebacker.All of that being said, it would not be surprising if one of Cleveland's youngsters—such as Mohamoud Diabate or rookie Nathaniel Watson—end up pushing for a starting job.
