At the NFL annual meetings, the Cleveland Browns' executives, including owner Jimmy Haslam, general manager Andrew Berry, and head coach Kevin Stefanski, expressed a commitment to improving the team's performance after a dismal 3-14 season. The Haslams indicated they are willing to give Berry and Stefanski multiple years to rectify past mistakes, notably the Deshaun Watson trade. Although expectations are high for the upcoming season, the organization remains realistic about player acquisitions given salary cap limitations.

There's a pressing need for a quarterback, with only Kenny Pickett currently healthy. Despite speculation around the No. 2 overall pick in the draft, the Browns are cautious, suggesting they won't be forced into a decision. Both Berry and Stefanski emphasized the importance of acquiring talent rather than simply focusing on a quarterback, hinting at strategic patience in their approach.
