When was the last time the Cleveland Browns actually had a good offense? Well, heading into next season, the Browns might end up owning one of the best offensive units in the league, particularly after acquiring stud wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. in a trade with the New York Giants earlier this week.
Beckham will join fellow wide out Jarvis Landry in the passing game, an aerial attack led by young quarterback Baker Mayfield, who is coming off of a spectacular rookie campaign.
Not only that, but the Browns will have the likes of Nick Chubb and, eventually, Kareem Hunt in the backfield.
Talk about a wide variety of options.
When asked about the status of Cleveland's offense going into 2019, Mayfield had this to say:
“We’ve got two LSU Tigers we’re throwing to, and, obviously, we have a lot more talent, too,” said Mayfield, referring to Beckham and Landry, according to Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. “So it’s going to be a thing where you pick your poison.”
The Browns are coming off of a season in which they went 7-8-1, marking their best finish since winning 10 games all the way back in 2007. Cleveland has not made the playoffs since the 2002 campaign, representing the longest active postseason drought in the NFL.
With a wealth of talent on both sides of the football and weakened AFC North division, could 2019 finally be the year for the Browns to end their suffering? We'll see, but this is surely the best shot Cleveland has had in over a decade.
