As the Cleveland Browns finally start working out on the field as a team in Berea, the new coaching staff under Kevin Stefanski will get its first look at the players in action.

Just in case they aren’t satisfied with what they see, there is still quite a bit of salary cap room for new GM Andrew Berry to go out and spend to help plug some roster holes. And holes keep popping up in the summer of coronavirus, with reserve OG Drew Forbes opting out and RB Dontrell Hilliard and P Jamie Gillan sidelined temporarily on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Here are eight current free agents for the Browns to consider. Some of these are more realistic possibilities for the Browns than others, and the price needs to be right — on Cleveland’s terms — for it to be worth pursuing any of them. This should help provide an idea of the caliber of player still out there at certain positions, too.

LB Alec Ogletree

2019 team: Giants

Ogletree was the victim of an offseason salary purge and regime change in New York. The Giants didn’t want to pay the 28-year-old $10 million this year and $9 million in 2021 and the Browns shouldn’t either. But that doesn’t mean Ogletree lacks value or the ability to help Cleveland.

He’s a very reasonable replacement for the departed Joe Schobert in the tackling department. Ogletree has range, decent instincts and a nice track record of production. While his numbers fell off from his early career with the Rams, Ogletree still bagged over 170 tackles and picked off six passes in the last two seasons, playing 13 games in each.

The interception total might lead fans to believe Ogletree is good in coverage. He’s not; being opportunistic is different than being good at covering backs and TEs. Even so, he’d instantly jump to the top of the Browns depth chart at the team’s weakest position, and he’s scheme-versatile enough to play different spots in Joe Woods’ defense.

2019 team: Seahawks

Ansah is probably not the ex-Seahawk pass rusher many Browns fans covet or think of, but he’s the better fit in Cleveland. He’s the kind of player who could be a low-risk/high-reward free agent on a team that doesn’t need him to be a major player.

Injuries have devastated Ansah over the last four years. The one season where he was healthiest, 2017 in Detroit, “Ziggy” still bagged 12 sacks. He’s battled major shoulder injuries most of that time, including his one year (2.5 sacks in 11 games) in Seattle. Ansah can still crush blockers off the line and his power-to-speed arsenal of pass rush moves is still effective, but the durability and tackling power are big concerns.

That’s the kind of player the Browns can afford to take a flier on as the No. 4 DE behind Myles Garrett, Olivier Vernon and Adrian Clayborn. At 31 and with his injury history, that’s the type of role Ansah is best-suited to fill.

DT Timmy Jernigan

2019 team: Eagles

Another player that is more of a reclamation project to provide some depth with upside, Jernigan would add some pass-rushing oomph to the interior line.

He comes with risk, of course. Jernigan agreed to terms with the Texans earlier this offseason but it fell through. Eagles fans bid good riddance to Jernigan after he underwhelmed in the last two years. He’s battled injuries to his neck and foot in that time. If the 28-year-old is healthy and willing to take a low-profile role as a reserve, Jernigan is an upgrade over Eli Ankou and Daniel Ekuale and buys time for rookie Jordan Elliott to adapt to the NFL.

OG Brian Winters

2019 team: Jets

Winters was released by the Jets on Sunday in a cap-related move. He’s been the Jets starting right guard for the last five years after starting on the left side in his first two seasons as New York’s third-round pick out of Kent State in 2013.

A recurring shoulder injury limited Winters to nine games last year, and his play has fallen a bit as a result. As long as the shoulder checks out, Winters’ experience and ability to play on either side at guard would make him a valuable backup in his hometown of Cleveland. With the Forbes opt-out, the team is thin at guard behind Wyatt Teller and Joel Bitonio, especially if rookie Nick Harris is sticking at center.

OG Josh Kline

2019 team: Vikings

Kline’s top selling point is his familiarity with head coach Kevin Stefanski. He played right guard for the Vikings in 2019 with Stefanski as the team’s offensive coordinator.

The 30-year-old has been a steady starter for the last five seasons across three teams, including his one year in Minnesota. The Vikings dumped the vet after one year of a three-year contract. Kline is a scheme fit and a perfectly average starting right guard. He could at least compete with Teller for the starting job and offers more proven pass protection ability.

RB Theo Riddick

2019 team: Broncos (injured)

If the Browns are looking for a fill-in/replacement for Hilliard as a pass-catching running back with some return skills, Riddick is a great candidate. Given how much Stefanski and his offensive scheme values receiving ability in a RB, he’s definitely worth a tire kick.

Riddick would have to be healthy. He missed 2019 with a shoulder injury suffered just days after he landed in Denver after the Lions cut him. Prior to that, Riddick caught at least 53 passes four years in a row in Detroit. He doesn’t offer much as an actual runner and his return results have been more miss than hit, but Riddick can fill the role of the No. 3 RB in Stefanski’s offense and step up for a week or two if forced by injury.

OLB Clay Matthews

2019 team: Rams

Matthews is not the same guy who terrorized quarterbacks and earned endorsement deals with the Packers. That has to be said. But at 34, he’s still got some sizzle around the edge and through the A-gap as a pass-rushing (eight sacks in 2019) specialist.

Matthews also has just enough experience and aptitude to serve as an off-ball backer in a pinch. His ability to serve as a veteran, Super Bowl-winning mentor to the precocious Browns LB corps might bring as much value as the handful of sacks the son of the Browns legend can offer. The idea of Matthews lining up flanking Myles Garrett on 3rd-and-11 is a terrifying hypothetical prospect for opposing offenses.

WR Jarius Wright

Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports

2019 team: Panthers

Wright was a disappointment in two years in Carolina, there is no doubt. But prior to that Panthers stint, Wright had carved out a nice career catching passes as the No. 4 WR in Minnesota with Stefanski on the coaching staff.

The Vikings version of Wright would definitely help the Browns depth chart at wide receiver. He’s got some ability to work deep but is at his best in the intermediate range working in conjunction with a more talented receiver. That would be the status in Cleveland with Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry.

Drops and ball security (10 drops, three fumbles since 2018) are legit drawbacks. His familiarity with the offensive scheme and what’s asked of a reserve receiver under Stefanski are appealing enough to make a low-cost gamble worthwhile for the Browns.
