The Cleveland Browns are looking to make a jump in the AFC North next season. The team will have quarterback Deshaun Watson back for an entire season in 2023. The Browns should be a playoff contender next season, and they’re adding an offensive weapon Watson is familiar with.
According to David Canter with GSE Worldwide, a sports marketing agency, the Browns are signing tight end Jordan Akins.
