The Cleveland Browns remade offensive line group has seen an impressive amount of overhaul. At this point, the current starting lineup is expected to include five new starters:

• LT Spencer Fano
• LG Zion Johnson
• C Elgton Jenkins or Parker Brailsford
• RG Teven Jenkins or Elgton Jenkins or KT Leveston or Austin Barber or Dawand Jones or…
• RT Tytus Howard

Quite a lot of change from the last few years when Jedrick Wills/Cam Robinson, Joel Bitonio, Ethan Pocic, Wyatt Teller, and Jack Conklin were the starting group. Bitonio has retired, Wills took a year off from the NFL last year and is still a free agent, Teller signed with the Houston Texans, and Robinson, Pocic, and Conklin remain free agents.

According to a report, Pocic is now healthy and will be ready to participate in training camp if he signs with a team:

Like the rest of Cleveland’s offensive line, Pocic’s 2025 season saw a decent decline in play. According to Pro Football Focus, the Browns center was the 20th-graded center among 40 that qualified.

A return to Cleveland could still be in the cards if HC Todd Monken and GM Andrew Berry believe E. Jenkins best fit is at right guard and Brailsford isn’t ready to start right away. Given Pocic’s quality play prior to last year, he could have a number of suitors around the league but could have to wait for an injury if he wants to be assured of a starting position.

Do you think the Browns should have interest in bringing Pocic back, or should they turn the page and focus on the players on the roster currently?
