A tweet from an ex-Browns wide receiver advises the team to ‘Move on’.
It will be a while before Anthony Schwartz is ready to make his comeback with the Cleveland Browns.
Schwartz, selected by the Browns in round three of a previous draft, was the subject of ridicule via Twitter; it implied he was coming back to Cleveland for one year. Schwartz replied with good humor.
Schwartz wrote that it was time to move on and shared a GIF suggesting the relinquishing of weapons.
In January, Schwartz inked a futures deal with the Miami Dolphins. In November of last year, while on their bye week, he was evaluated by the team and later added to their practice squad; however, they never promoted him to the active roster.
Schwartz, who was chosen in the third round of the 2021 draft, had a tough time in Cleveland and was released by the Browns in August. Despite his struggles with his former team, he remains an intriguing prospect due to his exceptional speed. His pro day performance saw him clocking an impressive 4.26-second for a forty-yard dash back in 2021—making him potentially useful on Miami Dolphins’ dynamic offensive lineup at some point down the line.
With only 14 receptions for a total of 186 yards in two seasons, Schwartz’s Browns career was lackluster. His poor performance drew criticism and even led to boos from the crowd during a preseason game at home due to frequent dropped catches.
Wide Receiver Depth has been reshaped by the Browns.
Over the last few years, the Browns have achieved remarkable progress in developing their wide receiver squad. Spearheaded by Amari Cooper, Elijah Moore and Jerry Jeudy, this unit stands out prominently. In addition to them, former third-round picks Cedric Tillman and David Bell bring a youthful vigor that can be utilised for further growth.
Jeudy was traded to the Browns in the offseason and promptly signed to a three-year extension, which may be perceived as a daring decision for a receiver who has yet to surpass 1,000 yards. Despite this, Cleveland is convinced of his abilities.
According to a statement released by general manager Andrew Berry on March 19th, our intention when trading for Jerry this spring was for him to establish himself as an integral part of our offense in the years ahead. With his capacity for scheme versatility and exceptional skills at breaking away from man coverage both out wide or closer towards the center, he has many ways in which he can contribute.
We are delighted to have Jerry on the Browns for several seasons, especially since he is just in his prime at 24-years-old. We believe that there’s more to come from him and we can’t wait.
Amari Cooper, the Browns’ wide receiver, had a Pro Bowl season recently.
Apart from Cooper, the Browns lacked consistent performance on offense in the previous season. Regardless of receiving passes from four different quarterbacks, the 29-year-old dependable receiver had yet another Pro Bowl-worthy season.
Cooper was the driving force for the Browns’ passing game, achieving an impressive 1,250 receiving yards on 72 receptions and earning his fifth Pro Bowl selection.
On Christmas Eve, Cooper’s remarkable performance was against the Houston Texans where he set a franchise single-game record by catching 11 passes for 265 yards.
“On January 10th, Cooper stated that records are meant to be surpassed; ultimately they’re only numerical figures. While he doesn’t disregard their significance, he identifies them as a thing of the past.”
The return of Deshaun Watson next season should provide a much-needed boost for Cooper, as he only played in six games during the previous campaign due to two separate shoulder injuries. Unfortunately, the second injury forced him out for the remainder of the year.
