Say what you will about Berry, but no one can accuse him of not being true to his word.

Berry started in on the offensive line by working out a trade for right tackle Tytus Howard, and then signing guards Elgton Jenkins and Zion Johnson in free agency. It wasn’t just the offensive line that needed help, of course, as free agency also brought tight end Jack Stoll and wide receiver/kick returner Tylan Wallace to town. The remodeling continued over the weekend in the 2026 NFL Draft, as Berry selected offensive linemen Spencer Fano (tackle) , Austin Barber (tackle) , and Parker Brailsford (center) ; wide receivers KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston ; and tight ends Joe Royer and Carsen Ryan .

With the draft in the books and training camps still months away, player acquisition has mostly gone silent across the league, although Berry found time on Monday to sign free agent fullback Michael Burton. When the news broke today that veteran free agent cornerback Martin Emerson Jr. was signing with the New Orleans Saints, it seemed like a good time to check in on the status of Cleveland’s other free agents.

In addition to Emerson, the following free agents have signed elsewhere: Linebacker Devin Bush with the Chicago Bears Running back Jerome Ford with the Washington Commanders Defensive end Cameron Thomas with the Atlanta Falcons Linebacker Mohamoud Diabate with the Tennessee Titans Guard Wyatt Teller with the Houston Texans Several players remained unsigned, including: Guard Joel Bitonio, who is considering retirement, although the Browns have said the door is open to him returning for another season. At this point, that feels like something that would happen later this summer if an injury hit the offensive line. Tackle Cam Robinson Tackle Jack Conklin Center Ethan Pocic, who is still recovering from an Achilles injury.
