The Browns 2020 draft class continues to dwindle as they lost two more members on Wednesday.

Nick Harris came to terms with the Seattle Seahawks to get a chance to become their starting center, something he never got a chance at in Cleveland.

Harris's story in Cleveland is one that was incredibly unfortunate for the player. Harris was a promising prospect for Cleveland entering his third season in 2022. He never got his chance at the position because, on the first play of the preseason down in Jacksonville, Harris tore his ACL. Stepping in for Harris was Ethan Pocic who grabbed the job and never looked back.

The Browns then buttressed their offensive line by drafting Luke Wypler in 2023, signaling that 2023 would be Harris's last season in Cleveland.

Harris heads to the upper northwest to join a Seahawks group that can be frisky in the NFC West. They proved to be competitive last year and will be again in 2024.

Harrison Bryant signed a one-year, $3.5M deal with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Bryant's growth in his four years in Cleveland was truly special to watch. He came to Cleveland as the Mackey Award winner in the 2020 NCAA season which is the title given to the best tight end in the NFL.

He started as more of a receiving tight end but developed into a complete tight end but in the end, was in need of a fresh start. Cleveland is heading toward a change in offensive philosophy, and Bryant's role would have been diminished and this was the time for a change in location.

Cleveland moves into the 2024 season with just two players remaining on their roster from the 2020 draft.
