A bounce back year of sorts for Weeden after he struggled through injuries in much of 2017. His 65.2% completion rate was a personal best and he finished 3rd in the NFL in passer rating. It will be interesting to keep an eye on Weeden's ratings over the next few years. While he will only be entering his 8th season in 2018, he will turn 35 during the season. Jeffrey Lyons suffered a torn MCL in the playoff game against the Jags and will likely miss next season. We may buy out his contract and just move on. The rush game took a hit and I think a big part of that was the loss of guard Shawn Lauvao. Despite suffering through a nagging hamstring injury the latter half of the season, Josh Gordon again finished amongst the top 10 wide receivers in receiving yards and TD's, although his 14 drops was also second worst in the NFL.
Joe Thomas was named an All-Pro for the fifth time in six years, this time being named to the second team. Moving forward, look for us to audition replacements for Lyons at RB, especially with his injury. C Alex Mack has also played his final game as a Brown as rookie Ray Bolock looks primed to take over next year. Overall, the offense finished 3rd in scoring, 16th in yards, 15th in rush yards and 17th in pass yards.

This unit took a big blow when Jabaal Sheard was lost for the season after only 12 games.
Phillip Taylor continues to play like the best defensive tackle in the NFL and was again named a first team All-Pro. While Taylor may be the MVP of this unit, safety Liam Gray, who only played 12 games due to injury is not far behind. If Gray had been healthy the whole season, he would have had a shot at All-Pro consideration. Four starters are free agents, including linebacker Jamie Collins, corner backs Joe Haden and Javier Ellard and safety Matt Elam. Collins and Elam are likely gone but the team will have a tough decision to keep the two corners around. Overall, the defense finished 1st in scoring, 20th in yards, 8th in rush yards and 31st in pass yards.
