Cleveland Browns Linked to Explosive Wide Receiver in Wild Free Agency Rumor

The Cleveland Browns’ receiving corps could improve ahead of the 2024 NFL season. Amari Cooper has always been dependable, but he’s not getting any younger.

While he’s still projected to be the team’s No. 1 target downfield in 2024, the Cleveland Browns seem to need another talented and productive wide receiver after a season in which tight end David Njoku finished second on the team — behind Cooper — in terms of receiving yards. To that end, should the Browns make a run at Buffalo Bills pending free agent wideout Gabriel Davis? For Jacob Roach of Browns Wire, Cleveland shouldn’t touch Davis at all.

I believe that every player should make as much money as possible because you never know when it is over but the Browns shouldn’t be the team that pays him that. There are times he seems to disappear and doesn’t have everything needed to be a number one option and if you are paying $13 million or more a year he has to have more upside for it to make sense.

The Cleveland Browns Have To Be Smar In Finding Weapons In 2024 NFL Free Agency

According to Spotrac, Davis has a significant market value of $54.488 million over the course of four years or $13.6 million AAV. That’s quite a hefty price tag for the Cleveland Browns, who don’t have a lot of financial flexibility at the moment. The Cleveland Browns are over the salary cap by nearly $12 million, as of this writing, but can still make some moves to lighten the payroll load.

Davis has been among the most productive weapons for Josh Allen, but his potential asking price in free agency may be too much for an asset like him. Given their cap situation, the Cleveland Browns will need to be extra-smart with their decisions.
