The linebacker room of the Browns is not in as bad of shape as it may seem on the surface. Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah is not going anywhere, Tony Fields II has at least proven he can handle responsibilities in base defense, and Jordan Kunaszyk is a restricted free agent who can give the Browns some depth.
They do, however, have three players who have started games at MIKE all set to hit the open market. If the Browns even re-sign just one of Anthony Walker Jr., Sione Takitaki, or Deion Jones, then this is a room that can run it back in Cleveland.
However, adding a young and throwback piece like Dorian Williams gives the Browns a contingency plan beyond 2023.
