- Browns 2024 depth chart: How Cleveland's roster shapes up ahead of 2024 NFL Draft
The Cleveland Browns enjoyed last year what has been a rare occurrence for them.
The Browns won 11 games, just the second time they reached that mark since returning to the league in 1999. They also qualified for the playoffs for just the third time since then, ultimately losing in the AFC wild card game at the Houston Texans .

The organization which has been known for turmoil over the last 25 years, though, has remained relatively consistent of late. General manager Andrew Berry and head coach Kevin Stefanski each enter their fifth year in those roles, something the Browns haven't had since the late 1980s.
Likewise across the roster, many of the faces remain the same. Most of the question marks revolve around players such as quarterback Deshaun Watson and running back Nick Chubb who are returning from season-ending injuries.
Browns linebacker Mohamoud Diabate (43) and cornerback Denzel Ward (21) lead their team onto the field before playing at the Houston Texans in an AFC wild card game, Jan. 13, 2024.
Cleveland Browns depth chart
The Browns essentially spent the initial free agency period bringing back a large number of players from last year's team who were free agents. As far as big moves, they did acquire wide receiver Jerry Jeudy in a trade with the Denver Broncos , while signing quarterbacks Jameis Winston and Tyler Huntley to add veteran depth behind Watson.
