Four Points Raising Concerns About The Browns, Including Their Pursuit of Tee Higgins.

 

The Cleveland Browns have already made some changes this offseason, but there are still a lot of unanswered concerns. Here are several pressing concerns that the Browns have this week, as they are rumored to be hiring a new offensive coordinator.

As soon as the Browns’ offseason began, they parted company with and replaced a number of offensive assistants. However, with free agency approaching in a few months, there is still a lot of work to be done. We’ll address the most important queries the franchise has as they prepare for 2024 every week. Now let’s address number four!

What is the offensive coordinator position going to be for Ken Dorsey?

First and foremost, I believe it’s critical to state right away that Kevin Stefanski is not relinquishing his play-calling duties. I just don’t see it happening given his insistence on doing it over the past four years and the backing of General Manager Andrew Berry, who stated last week that it was one of his best qualities as a coach.

Having said that, I believe Stefanski is fond of the notion of Dorsey providing an alternative viewpoint for the offensive strategy. They are trying extremely hard to get Deshaun Watson back to being a top-10 quarterback, and his experience working with other mobile quarterbacks like Josh Allen and Cam Newton should help. The majority of Dorsey’s job will probably involve writing plays for the offense and fine-tuning the game plan as they learn how the opposition defenses are hitting them. During his more than a year as OC in Buffalo, his offenses produced some very noteworthy stats. He called things with what appeared to be some tenacity, but again, I didn’t anticipate that to be his job in Cleveland.

This offseason, will the Browns actually try to sign Tee Higgins?
Well, Watson surely hopes so, that much is evident. Last week, he appealed to his fellow Clemson teammate to travel to Cleveland with him on the QB Unplugged Podcast. While Watson is a respected figure in the Browns organization, he also made a pitch to former colleague DeAndre Hopkins during the offseason, which was not fulfilled.

Will the Browns really attempt to sign Tee Higgins this offseason?
Watson undoubtedly hopes so, that much is certain. On the QB Unplugged Podcast last week, he made a plea to his friend from Clemson to accompany him to Cleveland. Although Watson is well-liked within the Browns organization, throughout the offseason he made an unfulfilled offer to former teammate DeAndre Hopkins.

Keeping all of that in mind, it would be advantageous to add a wide receiver who can succeed Cooper by becoming the number one wide receiver after him in addition to bringing in a wideout who can deliver a great one-two punch. Higgins argues that he is among the best wideouts available. It will all come down to the pennies and dollars in the end. According to Spotrac, Higgins’ market value is $74 million, or around four years. That’s more than $18 million annually. Cleveland will undoubtedly be keeping an eye on the wide receiver market in the coming months, and given that they are somewhat familiar with Higgins’ body of performance, I anticipate that they will be considering him.
