ESPN has the Browns fixing their OLine with 3 moves including trade, signings

Anyone and everyone who follows the Cleveland Browns, including many family pets, knows that the team needs to revamp the offense. It is one of the major reasons that HC Todd Monken was hired to take over the team. How retained GM Andrew Berry and Monken go about that reclamation, especially with a load of free agents from their 2025 roster, will be interesting to see.

That is especially true if you believe that Berry and Monken have one shot to get it right at the quarterback position.

Long-time Browns fans know that it all starts with the offensive line. While no one lineman is more important than a quarterback, even the best quarterbacks fail if their protectors are not good. In that way, the entire offensive line is more important than the quarterback, and, for the first time in a while, Cleveland’s line was bad last year and is looking at turnover this year.

In two different articles, ESPN helped fix, to some extent, the Browns offensive line. First, they had Green Bay Packers OT Rasheed Walker, their 8th overall free agent, sign in Cleveland:

With needs across the offensive line, the Browns should target Walker, the top offensive tackle on our board. His pass block win rate of 93.8% ranked 11th among 68 qualifying offensive tackles in 2025, and he should be viewed as an upgrade in Cleveland, as new coach Todd Monken rebuilds the front.

The Packers may not let the 26-year-old leave quite that easily, but it is easy to imagine Walker quickly upgrading the Browns:

Second, in the same article, ESPN has OL Joel Bitonio returning for another season:

Bitonio, 34, could opt for retirement, but if he plays in 2026, the Browns should re-sign the veteran guard on a short-term deal. He would bring much-needed experience back to the O-line in coach Todd Monken’s offense. Bitonio allowed only two sacks in 2025.

Given everything he’s said, Bitonio’s future is retirement or a return to Cleveland, it seems.

Finally, in a different article on ESPN, Bill Barnwell suggests the Browns make another trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars. This time for OT Walker Little:

Little should also have some modest trade value because of his age (he turns 27 in April) and experience playing left tackle. Remember that Jaylon Moore, who served as the backup left tackle for the 49ers behind Trent Williams, signed a two-year, $30 million deal with the Chiefs in free agency a year ago. Little would be less expensive and has more experience than Moore.

I’m not sure Little is even an average left tackle, but maybe he settles in at that level on the right side or at guard.

A cheap trade is suggested (Cleveland giving up a 2026 5th round pick and receiving a 2027 7th round selection along with Little) for the Browns to add an average starting right tackle.

Signing Walker at left tackle, trading for Little (first name Walker) at right tackle, and bringing back Bitonio to start at left guard would provide Berry with a lot of options. On the current roster, Luke Wypler and Zak Zinter could start at center and right guard, respectively, or Ethan Pocic, Wyatt Teller, and/or Teven Jenkins could re-sign in free agency.

Adding two starting tackles prior to the 2026 NFL draft could really open up opportunities for Berry to fill out the Cleveland offense with weapons and/or trade down for more picks.

How would you feel about signing Walker, re-signing Bitonio,and the small trade for Little?
