The Cleveland Browns need all sorts of help during the NFL offseason, and while their primary focus should be improving their offense, they also have some holes to fill defensively.<\/p>\n

One thing the Browns can really use is a star safety, and they may be able to find one on the free-agent market.<\/p>\n

Barry Shuck of Dawgs By Nature has already identified a potential solution for Cleveland: Miami Dolphins safety Jevon Holland.<\/p>\n

“Each of the last three seasons Holland has graded out as one of the five best safeties in the league,” Shuck wrote. He is durable and a head hunter. The Browns will need to get rid of Juan ‘Jog’ Thornhill and bring in a guy who will work and lay it all out on the field every game. His body of work previously more than speaks for itself.”<\/p>\n

The Dolphins had one of the best defenses in football this season, and while they had a bunch of contributors, there is no doubt that Holland was one of the most important players.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old finished with 62 tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and four passes defended in 15 games, and while he has never made a Pro Bowl, he has unquestionably established himself as one of the most reliable safeties in the league.<\/p>\n

Holland, who played his collegiate football at Oregon, was selected by Miami in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

He would represent an instant upgrade for the Browns and would form quite a nasty team with cornerback Denzel Ward in the secondary.<\/p>\n

Safeties also tend not to break the bank, so Cleveland may be able to nab him on an affordable deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
