Cleveland Browns 2024 Season Preview

The Browns managed to go 11-6 and make the playoffs last year despite losing both their running back and starting quarterback. Head coach Kevin Stefanski won his second NFL Head Coach of the Year award in just the last four seasons.

Deshaun Watson is back and it’s time to prove he’s worth everything this franchise gave up to get him. Jameis Winston comes in as the new backup quarterback, if Watson doesn’t have it, Winston isn’t a bad backup to have.

The Browns didn’t have a pick until #54 overall this season and went with the Ohio State Buckeyes defensive lineman Mike Hall Jr. to help shore up their Denise line. Jerry Jeudy is potentially a big signing for the team if he can pan out, he showed flashes in Denver but never lived up to his full potential with the Broncos.

Nick Chubb’s knee injury from last season remains a big question for the Browns offensive backfield. D’onta Foreman suffered a scary hit in training camp, but appears to have skirted serious injury.
