Taking a look at the Cleveland Browns and their prospects at wide receiver in the nfl 2023 Free Agency period. The Cleveland Browns are in a tough spot, as they're running out of time to give quarterback Deshaun Watson the weapons he needs to succeed. The team has a lot of talented players, but they need to get Watson a few downfield playmakers at receiver if they hope to make the playoffs this season. We'll be keeping an eye on the Browns and their prospects, so stay tuned for updates!

If the price is right, the Cleveland Browns won’t hesitate to sign Odell Beckham Jr. as they look to beef up their wide receiver corps. Potential wide receiver targets for the Browns continue to come off the board, with Brandin Cooks getting traded to the Dallas Cowboys and veteran Adam Thielen signing with the Carolina Panthers. However, Beckham remains available, with the two-time All-Pro weighing his options carefully. His asking price in free agency has been disputed but Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com believes the Browns will make the move if the price is right.

“The Browns attended Beckham’s private workout in Arizona, where he showed he can run. If the price is right, they won’t hesitate to sign him,” Cabot wrote in her latest Q&A column. As Cabot noted, the Browns were one of 12 teams who attended Beckham’s workout in Arizona earlier this month. He spent all of last season on the sideline as he recovered from a torn ACL he suffered while winning a Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams. If he’s back to his former self, Beckham would be a great pickup for the Browns and he’d have the ability to erase what was a forgettable first stint in Cleveland. Beckham managed just 114 catches for 1,586 yards in 29 games with the Browns. After an ugly ending in Cleveland that included a very public beef with then-quarterback Baker Mayfield, Beckham signed with the Rams and became a significant contributor during their Super Bowl run.

“While some in the organization were initially furious that Beckham gave up on the team, most recognized that his beef was only with Mayfield, and that much of it wasn’t his fault. As time went on, time healed most of those wounds.” The Browns have some other options on the table in the second wave of free agency. That includes former Kansas City Chiefs receiver Mecole Hardman and Lions free agent DJ Chark. Neither has the resume of Beckham but do come with tremendous top end speed, something the Browns would welcome as a complement to Amari Cooper and Donovan Peoples-Jones. Hardman was recently recruited by Browns’ new safety Juan Thornhill, sending back an eyeball emoji as a potential sign of interest. Chark played in 11 games last season with the Lions, notching 30 catches for 502 yards and three touchdowns. His best season came in 2019, when he caught 73 passes for 1,008 yards and eight touchdowns with Jacksonville.
