3News is tracking every major signing, trade and release made by the Cleveland Browns as free agency gets underway.
BEREA, Ohio — Ready, set, negotiate.
With the NFL’s “legal tampering” period set to begin at noon on Monday, teams can start negotiating with free agents ahead of the new league year, which begins Wednesday at 4 p.m.
The Cleveland Browns are expected to be one of the league’s aggressive teams in free agency as they look to rebound from last season’s 3-14 record and reshape their roster for 2025.
General manager Andrew Berry has major decisions ahead as the team looks to address key roster needs for the 2025 NFL season.
Here are a few things to watch for:
- Quarterback depth: With Deshaun Watson’s Achilles injury and no clear return timeline, will the Browns sign a veteran QB?
- Draft impact: How will free agency moves influence Cleveland’s approach with the No. 2 pick in the NFL Draft?
- Nick Chubb’s future: Will the Browns re-sign the running back, or will Chubb take an opportunity elsewhere?
