The 2023-24 NFL season kick-off is almost here! OutKick is unveiling its team-by-team preview series. Last week, we covered the AFC and NFC West. This week, we’re tackling the AFC and NFC North, continuing with last year’s last-place finisher in the AFC North, the Cleveland Browns.

Offseason Moves
The Cleveland Browns made some moves this offseason, trading for Minnesota Vikings edge rusher Za’Darius Smith and also adding Vikings interior defensive lineman Dalvin Tomlinson in free agency.
On the football field, Justin Herbert is a beast. The Los Angeles Chargers franchise quarterback already has over 14,000 career passing yards in just three NFL seasons. Thanks to that performance, the team rewarded him with the richest contract in league history. At least until Joe Burrow signs a new deal.
But off-the-field, many people believe Herbert is … boring. Which, he kind of is. Even on-the-field, there were concerns that he’s not vocal enough to lead a team. That’s part of the reason the Miami Dolphins selected Tua Tagovailoa instead of Herbert in the 2021 NFL Draft. Whoops.
Ezekiel Elliott is headed to the New England Patriots.
The Patriots are signing the former Pro Bowl running back to a one-year deal worth between $4-6 million, per a source, with the lower number representing his base salary and signing bonus.
The deal includes numerous incentive clauses that would need to be met to reach the $6 million figure.
NFL Media was first to report the signing.
Elliott confirmed the signing on X, formerly known as Twitter.
And he confirmed he will wear the No. 15 he wore in college at Ohio State.

The Patriots are expected to sign former Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott to a one-year deal, according to NFL Media insider Ian Rapoport. The move adds depth to New England’s backfield, but it also hurts the statistical ceiling of the team’s most talented runner, Rhamondre Stevenson.
Elliott has seen his numbers drop in recent years, culminating in a 2022 campaign that saw him post career lows in rushing yards (876) and yards per attempt (3.8). He did rush for 12 touchdowns on 231 carries, though both of those totals are unlikely to be replicated.
James Harden’s favorite plays have long been the step-back three and the drive that gets him to the free throw line, but now he has a third: the bomb thrown at management. Hey, as the great ones get older, they expand their game. Harden detonated his way out of Houston. Then he forced his way out of Brooklyn. Now he is trying to get out of Philadelphia, which is why he told an audience in China, in comments recorded on video:
“Daryl Morey is a liar, and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of.
Yankees legend Derek Jeter will attend his first Old-Timers’ Day at age 49, even though it has been nine years since he retired from MLB.
The five-time World Series champion has been reluctant in recent years to attend the Yankees’ honorary event for all its veterans. This year marks the 75th edition of the special day at Yankee Stadium.
Jeter decided to join the rest of his Yankees alum this year because the team will be honoring the 25th anniversary of the 1998 World Series team, Jeter’s first championship ring. 28 of those teammates are planning to attend the event as of now.
The Patriots are signing veteran running back Ezekiel Elliott to a one-year deal worth up to $6 million for the 2023 season, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports.
After Elliott spent seven seasons with the Cowboys, Dallas opted to release the veteran in the offseason and move forward with Tony Pollard as their top running back. Elliott took a few visits in free agency, which included a visit to New England in late July.
In 2022, Elliott totaled a career-low 876 rushing yards, but still scored 12 touchdowns in 15 games. Rapoport also reports Elliott will wear his college No.
