Cleveland Browns

8. player. 53. . RB. Cleveland. Duke Johnson

The Browns already traded just about every notable player drafted or acquired prior to the arrival of John Dorsey as GM. Josh Gordon was the latest, shipped to New England for a 5th round pick. Is there anybody left they might try to unload? Johnson is the only one left that stands out. The former 3rd round pick has struggled to get more action on offense despite being the teams’ best receiving option out of the backfield. With Carlos Hyde and rookie Nick Chubb on the depth chart now though, his place in their future seems grim. No doubt some team may love his versatility in their offense.
