With two first-round picks, it\u2019s widely expected that they will use at least one of those to beef up the line, though there is a world where both picks are used on linemen.<\/p>\n<p>Building a wall to give Shedeur Sanders a chance at success is the top priority of the offseason, and while this team has no cap space, general manager Andrew Berry is going to have to get creative and at least see if he can find a way to land somebody in free agency. The draft is typically the easiest way to land a reliable tackle, but the Browns were recently named as a \u201cteam to keep an eye on\u201d for one free agent.<\/p>\n<p>NFL Network\u2019s Cameron Wolfe recently discussed some topics from around the league and touched on free agent left tackle Rasheed Walker, who is arguably the best tackle on the market. The first team he mentioned as a potential fit is the Browns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne team I\u2019m told to keep an eye on: the Cleveland Browns, who have a lot of offensive line needs. They\u2019ve expressed interest, potentially, in Walker,\u201d Wolfe said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">THE WOLFE OF BALL STREET: Pre-NFL Combine buzz <\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Titans QB Cam Ward Year 2 offseason throw plan after injury + why Ward-Brian Daboll bond off to great start<br \/>\u2014 Packers LT Rasheed Walker set to get \ud83d\udcb0 in free agency<br \/>\u2014 Team eye Dolphins trade targets, Minkah Fitzpatrick 1 to watch <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UOmJWJx239\">pic.twitter.com\/UOmJWJx239<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Cameron Wolfe (@CameronWolfe) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CameronWolfe\/status\/2025013926354649193?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 21, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>He said the Browns\u2019 tackles were the worst in football last season, which isn\u2019t a hot take given the injuries to Dawand Jones and Jack Conklin. Walker would lock down the blind side for a long time in an ideal world, but it\u2019s hard to figure out how the Browns can even finagle the necessary cap room to give him the big bag he is in line for.<\/p>\n<p>Wolfe\u00a0isn\u2019t the only analyst\u00a0to bring up Walker as an option at left tackle for the Browns. Hopefully, it isn\u2019t just wishful thinking and the Browns actually have a shot, because finding a long-term solution at left tackle is the type of move that transforms an offense.<\/p>\n<p>Many are projecting the Browns to take a tackle with the sixth overall pick, but signing Walker would open that pick up to be used elsewhere, perhaps for a right tackle or a wide receiver. It\u2019s obviously way too early to speculate, but this is what the offseason is all about.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please enable cookies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":43570,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cleveland-browns"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
