Could the Cleveland Browns use free agency to add some running back insurance under Ken Dorsey’s guidance?
In just a few weeks, the NFL will start free agency, and several teams are expected to be involved, including the Cleveland Browns. Even though fans are hoping for someone like Mike Evans, they might not make a big impression, but they will use free agency to help bolster their roster once more.
They should concentrate on their running backs, for example. Although Nick Chubb is anticipated to recover from his horrific knee injury, it seems unrealistic to imagine he will play in Week 1. Because of this, the Browns need a backup running back who can both bear the load until Chubb returns and perform well as a No. 2 back when he does.
Singletary set a career best of 870 yards and seven touchdowns in 2021 while playing for Buffalo, averaging 4.7 yards per attempt. He was Dorsey’s offensive coordinator for a single season and finished with 1,099 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns overall.
Devin Singletary must be pursued by the Browns if he becomes available.
The Texans’ decision to allow Singletary to enter free agency is the sole unanswered question. Despite signing to be Dameon Pierce’s backup back, he ended up starting ten games. In addition to 193 yards on 30 receptions, he added 898 yards and four touchdowns on the ground.
Although Singletary has never been thought of as a workhorse back, he has demonstrated the ability to rush the ball 20 times in a game when necessary. He could still collaborate with Jerome Ford in Cleveland, but he would be a more reliable alternative until Chubb was fully recovered.
With Singletary in the mix, Chubb would be able to take his time getting healthy before donning the pads, giving him a backup plan that might prevent him from being overworked during the season. Chubb will need to be at the top of his game going into the postseason. Introducing Singletary would make that possible.
