Once the Browns lay Swagger Jr. to rest, we'll see which new bullmastiff will continue the legacy of the Swagger family.Cleveland is coming off of an 11-6 campaign in which it made the playoffs in spite of shuffling through five different starting quarterbacks during the regular season. The Browns would ultimately lose to the Houston Texans in the Wild Card Round, but it still represented an exciting year for the franchise.
Now, Cleveland is facing rather high expectations heading into 2024. Deshaun Watson is returning from shoulder surgery, and the Browns' No. 1-ranked defense is still intact. Plus, Cleveland bolstered its weaponry by acquiring wide receiver Jerry Jeudy in a trade earlier this offseason. The Browns have won just one playoff game since re-entering the NFL as a franchise in 1999, so they are looking to take a massive step forward this coming season.
