Cleveland Browns currently at 53, but they aren't done making moves

The Cleveland Browns currently sit at 53 players after a lot of cuts and a handful of trades, but their roster isn't done yet. They've still got a few areas that are unsettled as they head into their first week of practice in the regular season.

The first spot that stands out is tight end. Currently, the Browns have just three of them and one of them is Pharaoh Brown, who hasn't done anything that suggests he's earned a job, so it's really like two and a half. The Browns could still be looking to upgrade that spot, but at the moment, the Browns don't have anyone they can put in the backfield as an H-back or lead blocker.

Freddie Kitchens said last week that a tight end is going to fulfill that role and Brown certainly isn't built to lead block. The Browns waived Seth DeValve, who was in that role, but hasn't been able to stay healthy. It stands to reason that they are going to add someone who can do that job and if all else fails and they move a player at another spot, it could just be bringing back DeValve on a week to week basis.

The defensive line currently sits at ten, which isn't Earth shattering, but it does seem like the team is seeing if they can trade someone to get help at another spot. The two players that stand out as possibilities for this are Chad Thomas and Trevon Coley. Coley has certainly done more than Thomas has, but he has yet to distinguish himself in NFL games either. Nevertheless, there are teams that could use either player and the Browns may be holding out for a swap of some kind.

The offensive line also has ten at the moment, but there could be a few more moving parts. If the Browns are looking at trades, Austin Corbett's name will immediately jump out given his struggles. Having said that, the Browns aren't flush with guys who can snap the ball currently. Eric Kush was the favorite to be the backup to multiple spots, but ended up the starter at right guard. Kyle Kalis was waived with the intent of putting him on injured reserve, so they might actually need Corbett for the moment.

The Browns could also put Drew Forbes on injured reserve with his knee injury, despite the fact it's supposed to be minor. Trading for Justin McCray seems in no small part so he can be the immediate backup to Kush at right guard. Forbes is hurt and then Wyatt Teller has barely played any right guard to date, so McCray gives them help there right now.

Right now the Browns have eleven defensive backs, including six safeties. Juston Burris and Tavierre Thomas are the purest special teams guys on the roster. It's possible the Browns will get rid of one after the dust settles initially. John Dorsey may be unwilling to let Sheldrick Redwine go and possibly get grabbed by another team, but it's not impossible he would try to sneak him to the practice squad. The problem is the Browns don't have a meaningful option behind Damarious Randall at the moment.

The Browns roster is still very fluid right now and there are more moves coming.
