How the Cleveland Browns can tread water without star quarterback Deshaun Watson for 11 games will determine how far this team can go in 2022.

Cleveland Browns 2022 Season Preview
While the Cleveland Browns make a big splash by trading for star quarterback Deshaun Watson, the team’s season hinges on backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett.
Watson will sit the first 11 games of the season due to violations of the NFL’s Personnel Conduct Policy. Brissett came to Cleveland as a stop-gap amid Watson’s pending suspension at the time.
Brissett can perform as a starter. He tallied 2,942 yards and 18 touchdowns versus six interceptions in 2019 for the Indianapolis Colts. Last season, he threw for 1,238 yards and five touchdowns versus four interceptions in limited time with the Miami Dolphins.
Whether its Brissett or Watson under center, the Browns have no continuity in the quarterback room from last season. The Browns overhauled the quarterback room by trading away former No. 1 pick Baker Mayfield and letting backup Case Keenum go.
Changes abound elsewhere on offense with the addition of Amari Cooper amid the departure of Jarvis Landry. Cooper produced a big 2021 season with the Dallas Cowboys, catching 68 passes for 865 yards and eight touchdowns. It’s an upgrade statistically as Landry mustered 52 catches for 570 yards and two touchdowns in 2021.
Amid the changes on offense, the Browns still have a star-studded defense again to help win ball games.
Offensive Outlook
Brissett will have big support in running backs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. Chubb ran for 1,259 yards and eight touchdowns in 2021, and Hunt rushed for 386 yards and five touchdowns last year.
The Browns have depth at receiver with Donovan Peoples-Jones and rookie David Bell. Peoples-Jones posted 34 catches for 597 yards and three touchdowns in 2021, and Bell produced at Purdue with 93 catches for 1,286 yards and six touchdowns last year.
Tight end David Njoku can also factor in the passing game, especially considering the franchise tag investment the Browns made on him. Njoku caught 36 passes for 475 yards and four touchdowns in 2021.
Cleveland also has a solid offensive line with guards Wyatt Teller and Joel Bitonio.
Defensive Outlook
The Browns have strength up front with defensive ends Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney. Last season, Garrett dominated with 16 sacks, 51 tackles and a fumble recovery for a touchdown. Clowney had another big season with nine sacks, 37 tackles, and two forced fumbles.
Cleveland will look to linebacker in Jeremiah Owusul-Koramoach to step up and help make the linebacker corps more dangerous. Owusul-Koramoach had 76 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles in 2021.
Browns defensive backs Denzel Ward, Grant Delpit, Greedy Williams, and Greg Newsome could make a big difference with solid, healthy seasons.
Special Teams Outlook
Rookie kicker Cade York could be a difference maker in close games. York shoed he can hit from 50-60 yards out during the preseason.
