2024 record prediction: Cleveland Browns

Boasting one of the most complete teams in football the Cleveland Browns look to recapture some of the magic Joe Flacco left behind towards the end of the 2024 season. With Deshaun Watson back in the helm operating what stands to be one of the better offensive units in the league, this Browns team should be set up for success on both sides of the ball.

Trading for former Denver Broncos receiver Jerry Jeudy and signing veteran running back D’Onta Foreman should help add some more juice to an offense that heavily relied on Amari Cooper for their offensive firepower. Pro bowl running back Nick Chubb returning healthy should be the biggest boost to the offense however as this offense runs through one of the best running backs in the entire league. On the defensive side of the ball the additions of linebacker Devin Bush and Mike Vrabel to the front office should help continue what has been defensive dominance in the last few years with a loaded defense.

Ultimately the Cleveland Browns’ season is going to hinder upon the returning Deshaun Watson, who while boasting a winning record last season, did not look like the player Cleveland hoped they were getting in their blockbuster trade with the Houston Texans. Nick Chubb is going to be able to carry this offense to respectability, and their two star edge rushers are going to continue to lift up a fantastic defense. If Watson can experience a revival, this will be one of the best teams in the league.

Record prediction: 11-6
