The first two days of free agency have reduced the supply of veteran players, but the shelves are still well-stocked with useful free agents for teams like the Browns that still have cap room to spend.
After signing tight end Austin Hooper, right tackle Jack Conklin, backup QB Case Keenum and trading for fullback Andy Janovich, the Browns needs list has changed.
