Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski has confirmed that the team is prepared to let one of its key offensive players explore free agency in the offseason. While the Browns have shown a commitment to building a competitive roster, Stefanski acknowledged the realities of the NFL’s salary cap and player movement.
“Every offseason, tough decisions need to be made, and this is no exception,” Stefanski said during a press conference. “We have a lot of talented players on this team, but we can’t keep everyone. If a player has the opportunity to test the market and find the best situation for them, we’ll support that.”
