Browns' Cameron Thomas: Finds groove in Cleveland
Thomas tallied 11 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, over nine games with the Chiefs and Browns in 2024.
Thomas was traded from the Cardinals to the Chiefs right before the start of the regular season, but his time in Kansas City was brief. He played just six defensive snaps across four games before being waived in late November. The Browns claimed him one day after being waived, and he impressed as a reserve defensive lineman down the stretch, recording 11 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in five games. The 25-year-old edge rusher remains under contract through 2025 and is expected to stay in Cleveland. Thomas flashed potential over his 61 defensive snaps with the Browns late in the season, so he could serve as a reliable reserve defensive end during the team's 2025 campaign.

Browns' Mike Ford: Underwhelms in Cleveland
Ford (forearm) recorded 13 total tackles across 17 games in 2024.
Ford played a reserve role for the Browns' defense this season, making no starts over his 17 appearances. The veteran cornerback logged just 56 defensive snaps compared to his 150 in 2023, which explains the significant drop in his tackle total from 28 to 13 in 2024. He's now set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason after signing a one-year, $1.1 million deal with the Browns last offseason. If Ford stays in Cleveland for 2025, he's expected to remain a depth piece in the team's secondary while also contributing on special teams.

Browns' Sam Kamara: Career year in 2024
Kamara accumulated 15 total tackles over 11 games in 2024.
The fourth-year pro from Stony Brook had the most productive season of his career in 2024, setting new career highs in total tackles, games played and defensive snaps (262). His lone start came in Cleveland's Week 18 loss to the Ravens, when he recorded six total tackles while playing 87 percent of the team's defensive snaps. Kamara, who's under contract through the 2025 season, is expected to remain one of the Browns' top reserve defensive linemen next year.

Browns' Maurice Hurst: Injuries derail 2024 campaign
Hurst (ankle) recorded 16 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, over eight games in 2024.
The 29-year-old defensive tackle finished Cleveland's season on injured reserve, missing nine games due to an ankle injury. This appears to be a recurring theme for Hurst, who has now been sidelined for 45 regular-season games over the past four seasons in the NFL. Hurst played over 40 percent of the Browns' defensive snaps in three games this year, recording seven total tackles in those contests. He's now set to be an unrestricted free agent after signing a one-year, $1.8 million deal with Cleveland last offseason. Given his continued injury struggles, Hurst is likely to sign another one-year prove-it contract this offseason after missing more than half his team's games in 2024.

Browns' Ogbonnia Okoronkwo: Down year in 2024
Okoronkwo tallied 23 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and one forced fumble over 16 games in 2024.
The veteran defensive tackle saw his production decline significantly this season compared to 2023, recording fewer tackles (31 to 23), fewer sacks (4.5 to 3.0) and fewer passes defended (one to zero) in 2024, despite playing in two more games. Okoronkwo made five starts this season, recording just eight total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble in those contests. He's now entering the final season of a three-year, $19 million deal signed with Cleveland in 2022. Expect Okoronkwo to remain one of the Browns' top rotational defensive linemen heading into the 2025 season.

Browns' Cameron Mitchell: Suits up for all 17 games in 2024
Mitchell tallied 24 tackles (16 solo) and two passes defensed across 17 regular-season appearances with the Browns in 2024.
Mitchell began the year in a rotational role on defense, but he was thrust into a more notable gig down the stretch due to the placement of Greg Newsome (hamstring) on IR in Week 15. The 2023 fifth-round pick will spend the offseason working to progress in his development, though he figures to return to a reserve role for the 2025 campaign.
