Browns free agency: 3 free agents nobody is talking enough about

The Cleveland Browns have holes in just about every position group. Their free agent list makes keeping a good nucleus a huge task because they are, or might, end up losing pieces of the roster that they want to retain.

Players that come to mind are LB Devin Bush, TE David Njoku, OG Wyatt Teller, CB M.J. Emerson, and P Corey Bojorquez.

However, life goes on. Teams lose favorite players all the time. Who doesn’t remember when the Houston Texans signed RB Nick Chubb? Or when WR Jarvis Landry inked a one-year deal to play for the New Orleans Saints? Or seeing QB Bernie Kosar in a Dallas Cowboys uniform?

And here it is, almost the 2026 free agency period, which begins March 9.

Yes, Cleveland will lose some guys whom they wish they could keep. But in return, they will sign some new players who have been productive with other clubs and will come in and become new starters. That’s how the Browns got Pro Bowler Teller, OT Jack Conklin, Bojorquez, Dt Maliek Collins, and Bush.

Name a position group, and most likely, the Browns need to add a player for either a starting role or as a key backup. And signing free agents is not an easy task.

Many names have come and gone that Cleveland GM Andrew Berry assumed would improve the roster, but didn’t, either by lack of production or with an injury such as S Juan Thornhill, DT Dalvin Tomlinson, KR Jakeem Grant, TE Austin Hooper, DT Andrew Billings, S John Johnson, DT Taven Bryan, WR Marquise Goodwin, DT Quinton Jefferson, KR Nyheim Hines, RB D’Onta Freeman, and OT Cornelius Lucas.

This year in free agency, there are a few players who just aren’t mentioned as mainstream free agent candidates that aren’t going to break the bank, that the Browns could look at and pluck from a very long list.

WR/KR Wan’Dale Robinson (5’-8”, 185 pounds)

New York Football Giants

Age: 25

2025 PFF: 70.2

Robinson would fit perfectly in the slot for the Browns and give this new offense a fast weapon with his 4.38 speed. He is a solid player and a safe pickup. He knows how to get open.

He will not be active in the Red Zone because of his size, but he can move the chains between the 20s. Robinson is sudden and slick with an ability to make plays from a variety of alignments.

He had 1,014 yards receiving this past year on 92 receptions with 140 targets. Smooth route runner who has the feet to get out of traffic untouched. Is quick, but his acceleration is just adequate. Very talented receiver once he has the ball in his hands, with 386 YAC this past year. He does have below-average strength to play through press coverage.

Returned two kickoffs in 2025 and zero punts. In college, he had 11 kickoff returns and returned seven punts. Was paid $1.77 million in 2025 and should be looking at a new deal for four years at around $70 million.

EDGE K’Lavon Chaisson (6’-3”, 255 pounds)

New England Patriots

Age: 26
2025 PFF: 73.7

Explosiveness would be a good word to describe him. Chaisson uses his linear speed and change of direction. This trait permits him to also be a potent stunt rusher and turn into a pursuit defender very quickly. Good run stopper. He can keep his feet moving while engaged and wrapping up runners.
