Deshaun Watson is banned for at least 6 games in 2022. This leads to the ultimate question: so what are the implications for the Browns upcoming season?

What will be the Browns record in 2022?

The Ravens had an injury ravaged 2021 season eventually finishing last in the AFC North. Do not be fooled in to thinking they don't have a very strong roster when fit and healthy, because they do. There were very few glaring needs going in to the Draft for the Ravens, but the biggest two needs were at Defensive End...

Heading in to the 2022 Draft the Steelers had some roster needs to fill. Long time successful QB Ben Roethlisberger had retired, and although they had acquired Mitchell Trubisky, with Mason Rudolph as backup, there was still the opportunity to get a QB from this years Draft. The Steelers needed a replacement for WR Ju-Ju Smith-Schuster, who would...

The Cincinnati Bengals had improved their Super Bowl roster over the off-season, by upgrading their Offensive Line, but still had depth to fill in their Secondary. In their 2022 Draft they added the following 6 players:

The Cleveland Browns entered the 2022 Draft in need of a DE, DT, K & WR and ended up drafting 9 players- 4 on Offense, 4 on Defense and 1 ST. Here's a list of the players they selected:

He's still only 24 years old, soon to be 25 on April 28th, and this deal is confirmation that the...

With one week until the 2022 Draft the Cleveland Browns still have some holes to fill on their roster- if they're hoping to have the luxury of picking Best Player Available in the early rounds of the Draft. As it stands they still need another Wide Receiver, another Edge Defender and more than one Defensive Tackle. The Browns are...

The Denver Broncos immediately catapulted themselves in to the higher echelons of the AFC rankings with the signing of Russell Wilson from the Seahawks. A young talented roster now has a proven leader and a top rated Quarterback who has the experience and ability to potentially take the Broncos to the AFC Championship.

The Buffalo Bills have fallen just short of the Super Bowl for the last 3 years and have been very active in Free Agency to try and get them there this season. They have tried to fill all their holes so they could go in to the Draft picking the best player available at their turns. They have been particularly...

With Free Agency well under way it's time to look at how the Browns rivals in the AFC North and the wider AFC have fared so far. Let's start with their two main rivals for the AFC North Division crown.
