Cleveland Browns Kevin Stefanski opens up about tough roster decisions

Cleveland Browns Kevin Stefanski opens up about tough roster decisions

The Cleveland Browns played their final preseason game on Saturday night, which means head coach Kevin Stefanski will have some very difficult decisions to make in the coming days.

NFL teams must trim their rosters down to 53 players by Tuesday, and it seems like a process Stefanski isn’t looking forward to going through.

“Everything is tough. Every decision is tough,” Stefanski says. via Associated Press. “It’s a good list. It’s a good problem to have when you have tough decisions to make.”

While some of the Browns’ starters played during the team’s 37-33 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, many of their key players were rested. That included quarterback Deshaun Watson, who didn’t play a single snap in the preseason.

Of course, preseason performance has absolutely no bearing on most starters when it comes to making the finals. But many Cleveland fans would have at least thought Watson would get some buzz, especially considering he hasn’t seen live game action since last November.

Regardless, the Browns decided to play it safe this month, likely in an effort to avoid injury. It is something that can certainly pay off in the long run.

After all, Cleveland has one of the deepest rosters in football, so Stefanski certainly won’t have an easy time between now and Tuesday.

There will almost certainly be a surprising cut or two, which usually happens every year heading into the start of the regular season.

We will see Stefanski’s final decision this Tuesday.
