Browns Sign Wallace, Hoping for Breakout Season

0:00NFL story is making news on March 20th. The Cleveland Browns wrapped up last season with the weakest wide receiver group in the league, and even their top guy, Jerry Judy, underperformed after a pro-bowl year.

Berry has struggled to draft impactful receivers since taking over in 2020, with only two of six picks still on the roster. Rumors swirled about trading for a veteran, but instead, he grabbed Wallace during free agency while the team holds prime draft spots like number six, and number 24 in the first round.

Fans wonder if Wallace can finally break out in Cleveland's new offense under head coach Todd Monkin, whom he knows from Baltimore, bringing speed, blocking, and ball skills that might fit perfectly if given the chance.
