Browns Eye Darnell Mooney for WR Help

0:00On March 12, the Cleveland Browns hoped Jerry Judy would step up as their top-wide receiver after trading away a Mari Cooper, but last season proved. He's not ready for that role. Now, with a young group of passcatches lacking a true star, the team is looking at free agency for help, even if the options aren't elite. Teams like the Atlanta Falcons might let Darno Mooney walk, and the Browns could pursue him as a solid number two option. Outtrack projects a two-year deal worth $15.1 million, averaging about $7.5 million per year, which fits their tight. Cap situation of under $2 million right now. Fans and analysts see Mooney's value in his reliable hands and versatility, shining both deep and in the slot with good yards after the catch. He's hit 60 catches at least three times and drawn over 100 targets twice, though he's had some up and down years. That said, Mooney isn't a long-term fix. More of a bridge, while rookies like Isaiah Bond develop.

1:00Risky big money vets like Stefan Diggs or Tyreek Hill don't make sense, so a cheap bad like him beats sticking with the current underwhelming group. Pairing Mooney with the first round draft pick, or trade for a true number one, could raise the Browns passing floor and give their new coordinator more. Firepower to work with.
