Cleveland Browns Playoff Chances

The Cleveland Browns had a decent offseason, considering GM Andrew Berry was operating on a budget.

With Joe Flacco under center, the Browns made a late push for the playoffs last year. Flacco wasn't retained despite his heroics, though a healthy Deshaun Watson should somewhat steady the ship. Getting Jerry Jeudy in for two Day 3 picks was somewhat of a coup for the Browns despite Jeudy's reputation in the league. 

2024 could be tough for the Browns, though. The Steelers have Russell Wilson under center. The Ravens are unlikely to regress. The Bengals will have a healthy Joe Burrow. If Watson isn't on his game, the Browns could be on the outside looking in when it comes to the playoffs. As things stand, our playoff chances algorithm has the Browns with a 27% chance of making the playoffs outright.
