Browns Roster Bubble Players

by James Layton

I was looking at the Browns roster yesterday; I started thinking they have a lot of players that could be on the bubble to make the roster this season.

Some of these players before free agency and the draft I thought were at least going to be backups on the roster or practice squad players. But now it’s not so clear.

Let’s get into their bubble players.
