Over the next week, ClevelandBrowns.com will break down the top players who could be available when the NFL's free agency period opens in three weeks.
Overview
The Browns' offensive line was hampered by injuries last season, including season-ending blows to Joel Bitonio, John Greco and Austin Reiter, who showed promise in his first and only start. The good news? Cleveland is set to return those three, 10-time Pro Bowler Joe Thomas, Cameron Erving and a handful of young players who contributed in 2016.
Even so, there's always a need for depth and talent on the offensive line ... and last year proved to be a good example of that.
