Both the offensive line and wide receiver rooms, which were major weaknesses going into this offseason, have been revamped and improved.

With those rooms being overhauled, the floor for the offense has been established. Cleveland’s offense should be at least competent at 10 starting positions, with some depth ( unless some are traded away ). The issue?

Figuring out which quarterback can lead this offense and how far that QB can take them. As of now, based on past performances, the quarterback room for the Browns is still below average. Quarterback Deshaun Watson is on his last chance to prove he can still play in the league, and Shedeur Sanders has to improve from an underwhelming rookie campaign that had a few exciting moments.

Sanders and Watson will be battling for the starting quarterback spot from the start of minicamp all the way up to training camp, with a report that Watson currently has the lead . Whoever is under center will have no excuses to get the offense to at least league average. The passing game should be a lot better with a revamped wide receiver room.
