The Browns have spent the majority of their resources in free agency on the offensive side of the ball, and for good reason. For all the fans who suffered through the maddening 2025 season, no one could be deluded into thinking the defense was the problem. There is no statistic more illustrative of this than the disparity between points allowed and yards allowed.
They allowed the 14th-fewest points in 2025, so roughly middle-of-the-pack, but the fourth-fewest yards. This screams: inept offense, defending short fields, and getting absolutely gassed after the offense's one-millionth three-and-out. Thank goodness Andrew Berry's actions this offseason indicate that he sees the picture clearly.
