CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Browns still have plenty of cap room and will be buyers in this NFL offseason.

But is it a buyer's market?

Perhaps not.

Based on Pro Football Focus' grades through the regular season, there are not nearly as many free agents who produced ratings of 80.0 or better (on a scale to 100) compared to a year ago. There were 45 players last year with a rating of at least 80.0. This year? Only 21 made the cut, not counting holdout running back Le'Veon Bell of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Below is a preview of the 2019 free-agent class, starting with the top 50 players based on PFF grades through the regular season. It is important to note that PFF grades do not reflect statistical output and are more of an efficiency rating.

Only players with at least 250 snaps in 2018, unless they are a former Pro Bowler, were considered for the top 50.

An extensive notable portion has been added after the top 50 to include big-name players, former first-round picks and more.

Teams have between Feb. 19 and March 5 to designate their own players with the franchise or transitional tag. Clubs are permitted to begin free-agent negotiations March 11 and sign players March 13.

Salary information was taken from Spotrac.com. Listed ages are for the 2019 season. The Browns are projected to have nearly $75 million in cap space, which is the fourth most in the league. A deeper dive into the Browns' positional needs will come next week.

50. Steven Nelson, Kansas City CB

PFF rating: 73.8

2018 cap hit: $2.05 million

Age: 26

Browns general manager John Dorsey took Nelson in the third of the 2015 draft. If Dorsey seeks cornerback depth, he could turn to a player he liked coming out of Oregon State. For reference, there are a handful of free agents this offseason whom Dorsey took in Kansas City. They include Nelson, running back Knile Davis, Philip Gaines (who was on the Browns' roster this season), center Mitch Morse, receiver Chris Conley and premier pass rusher Dee Ford.

Don't Edit

49. Tre Boston, Arizona S

PFF rating: 74.1

2018 cap hit: $1.5 million

Age: 27 (entering 2019 season)

Boston is one of those players who received an 80-plus rating last season from PFF while playing for the Chargers. He put up nearly identical numbers this season in two fewer games with 79 tackles and three interceptions.

Don't Edit

48. L.J. Fort, Pittsburgh LB

PFF rating: 74.2

2018 cap hit: $705,000

Age: 29

Fort closed the season strong with eight tackles in Pittsburgh's win vs. Cincinnati. He posted a career-high 48 tackles. A backup linebacker, Fort's usage this season (306 snaps, two starts) was his most since his rookie season in 2012 with the Browns.

Don't Edit

Don't Edit

47. Thomas Davis, Carolina OLB

PFF rating: 74.2

2018 cap hit: $3.9 million

Age: 36

Davis has spent his entire 14-year career in Carolina and endured career-threatening injuries. He told the Charlotte Observer he wants to return for a 15th season.

Don't Edit

46. Domata Peko, Denver DT

PFF rating: 74.3

2018 cap hit: $4.2 million

Age: 34

A 13-year veteran, Peko spurned retirement talk at the end of the season. The former fourth-round pick told the Denver Post he intends to return.

Don't Edit

Rick Scuteri, Associated Press

45. Ezekiel Ansah, Detroit DE

PFF rating: 74.5

2018 cap hit: $17.1 million

Age: 29

Ansah landed on injured reserve in mid-December. He was playing on the franchise tag with Detroit. He injured his shoulder twice this season, so it could become a question for teams pursuing him in the offseason. The Lions used the franchise tag last year on the former No. 5 overall pick from BYU.

Don't Edit

44. Cole Beasley, Dallas WR

PFF rating: 74.8

2018 cap hit: $4.25 million

Age: 30

While Beasley could be an enticing addition at receiver, it is important to note Dallas has been home for quite some time. He's played all seven years professionally with the Cowboys. Before that, he played in town at SMU. Following a career-best 2016 season, Beasley struggled in 2017 before a bounce-back 2018. He had 65 receptions for 672 yards and three touchdowns.

Don't Edit

43. LaMarcus Joyner, Los Angeles Rams S

PFF rating: 74.9

2018 cap hit: $11.2 million

Age: 28

Joyner has spent his five-year career with the Rams, re-signing last year for one more season. His on-field efficiency certainly dropped, based on PFF evaluations, after a 90.1 rating last season. Statistically, Joyner was better: playing 223 more snaps and compiling 29 more tackles.

Don't Edit

Don't Edit

42. Adam Humphries, Tampa Bay WR

PFF rating: 75.2

2018 cap hit: $2.9 million

Age: 26

Humphries returned to the Buccaneers in 2018 on a one-year deal and produced career highs in targets (105), receptions (76), yards (816) and touchdowns (five). The 5-foot-11, 195-pounder has spent all four of his professional seasons in Tampa.

Don't Edit

41. Mike Davis, Seattle RB

PFF rating: 75.6

2018 cap hit: $1.2 million

Age: 26

Seattle's backfield proved to be a bit of a roller coaster. First-round pick Rashad Penny never had more than 12 carries in a game, and second-year back Chris Carson led the Seahawks with 1,151 yards rushing. Davis produced one 100-yard game with two touchdowns in September at Arizona. He closed the season with a touchdown against the Cardinals, who allowed three of his four scores in 2018. Davis finished with 514 yards rushing, but PFF ranked him 22nd among running backs.

Don't Edit

40. Jordan Hicks, Philadelphia LB

PFF rating: 75.6

2018 cap hit: $2.07 million

Age: 27

Hicks' rookie deal is up, but he has already landed twice on injured reserve in four years. He also had a medical redshirt in college while at Texas. Ohio football fans should remember Hicks from his high school playing days at Lakota West, when he was considered the state's top recruit and picked the Longhorns over the Buckeyes. His two trips to IR as a pro came because of a torn pectoral muscle in 2015 and Achilles injury in 2017. When healthy, he has been a force: 85 tackles in 2016 and 91 tackles with three sacks in 2018.

Don't Edit

39. Jared Cook, Oakland TE

PFF rating: 75.7

2018 cap hit: $5.67 million

Age: 32

Cook put up some impressive numbers for a tight end, turning 68 receptions into 896 yards and six touchdowns. He closed the year, though, with a route-running gaffe that Kansas City turned into a pick six.

Don't Edit

38. Shaq Barrett, Denver DE/OLB

PFF rating: 75.9

2018 cap hit: $2.9 million

Age: 26

Bothered by an injured hip late in the season, Barrett has been quiet in 2018 with 28 tackles and three sacks. He was undrafted in 2014, but emerged in 2015 with 5.5 sacks for the Broncos.

Don't Edit

Don't Edit

37. Julius Peppers, Carolina DE

PFF rating: 75.9

2018 cap hit: $5 million

Age: 39

Peppers will reportedly take a few weeks to decide whether he will return next season. After 17 years, Peppers' 139 career sacks ranks him fourth since 1982 in the NFL history books.

Don't Edit

Mark Zaleski, Associated Press

36. Danny Shelton, New England DT

PFF rating: 76.1

2018 cap hit: $2.03 million

Age: 26

Shelton had a fifth-year option declined in May that was worth $7.1 million. The Browns traded him last year with a fifth-round pick to New England for a third-round selection in this year's draft. Shelton started only one game and played about 30 percent of New England's defensive snaps. The Patriots got better value out of the fifth-rounder, turning it into Cordarrelle Patterson and a sixth-rounder.

Don't Edit

35. Latavius Murray, Minnesota RB

PFF rating: 76.2

2018 cap hit: $5.2 million

Age: 28

Murray told the Minneapolis Star Tribune he is not content with a backup role, which is set to be the case with Dalvin Cook intrenched as the starter following a 920-yard season. The Vikings also are one of the more cash-strapped teams this offseason with defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson, linebacker Anthony Barr and kicker Dan Bailey among notable free agents. Murray rushed for 578 yards this season and emerged in 2015 with a 1,000-yard year.

Don't Edit

34. Margus Hunt, Indianapolis DE/DT

PFF rating: 76.5

2018 cap hit: $2.5 million

Age: 32

Hunt moved to nose tackle midway through the season, but isn't a typical nose with his pass rushing ability. He had five sacks.

Don't Edit

33. Henry Anderson, New York Jets DE/DT

PFF rating: 76.5

2018 cap hit: $1.9 million

Age: 28

A bright spot (outside of safety Jamal Adams) for the Jets, who will undergo an overhaul following the firing of coach Todd Bowles. Anderson posted a career-high seven sacks in his fourth season.. He started only three games, but played nearly 60 percent of the Jets' defensive snaps. New York acquired him last year from Indianapolis for a seventh-round pick.

Don't Edit

Don't Edit

32. Kyle Love, Carolina DT

PFF rating: 76.8

2018 cap hit: $1.3 million

Age: 32

Love had his best season since 2012, forcing three fumbles (he had one before this season) and playing more than 400 snaps. The 6-foot-1, 310-pounder began his career in New England, spent a year in Jacksonville and the last four seasons with Carolina.

Don't Edit

Matt Rourke, Associated Press

31. Preston Smith, Washington OLB

PFF rating: 76.9

2018 cap hit: $1.8 million

Age: 26

Playing opposite Ryan Kerrigan in Washington, Smith had a more productive 2017 with eight sacks. He was on the field more in 2018, but less productive with four sacks in his 832 snaps.

Don't Edit

30. Adrian Peterson, Washington RB

PFF rating: 77.0

2018 cap hit: $1.0 million

Age: 34

Peterson revitalized his career in 2018, joining Washington and rushing for 1,042 yards and seven touchdowns on 247 carries. The Redskins turned to him after rookie Derrius Guice tore his ACL in the preseason. How much does Peterson have left? He will be 34 when the 2019 season begins.

Don't Edit

Ted S. Warren, Associated Press

29. Frank Clark, Seattle DE

PFF rating: 77.1

2018 cap hit: $1.2 million

Age: 26

The former Michigan product has put up double-digit sacks for the second time in three years. He has starred on Seattle's retooled defense, but the Seahawks should have the flexibility to re-sign him or apply the tag.

Don't Edit

28. Pierre Desir, Indianapolis CB

PFF rating: 77.5

2018 cap hit: $1.56 million

Age: 28

The former Browns pick bounced around to San Diego and then Indianapolis in 2017. Colts GM Chris Ballard brought him back on a one-year deal, and he started 12 of 16 games with 79 total tackles and an interception.

Don't Edit

Don't Edit

27. Tyrann Mathieu, Houston FS

PFF rating: 77.9

2018 cap hit: $7.0 million

Age: 27

The Texans brought in Mathieu on a one-year deal after five seasons with Arizona. The Honey Badger has been an active defender for Houston and could be one of the most sought defenders this offseason. The Texans are projected to have about $68 million in cap space, which puts them in the top 10, so he could be staying in the Lone Star State.

Don't Edit

26. Steve McLendon, New York Jets DT

PFF rating: 78.5

2018 cap hit: $4.25 million

Age: 33

Chances are, younger and more versatile teammate Henry Anderson will be more sought this offseason. But that's not to say McLendon does not have value. He won the Jets' Dennis Byrd Most Inspirational Player award and played about half of the defensive snaps in New York, starting 14 games. He spent the last three seasons with the Jets after seven in Pittsburgh.

Don't Edit

25. Matt Paradis, Denver C

PFF rating: 79.0

2018 cap hit: $2.9 million

Age: 30

Paradis returned to the Broncos in 2018 on a one-year deal, but fractured his fibula in early November. The injury shouldn't affect his free agency. He had started every game the previous three years after moving up from the practice squad. He finished as the No. 2-rated center in the league, behind Cleveland Heights native Jason Kelce and ahead of former Browns center Alex Mack.

Don't Edit

Mark Tenally, Associated Press

24. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Washington FS

PFF rating: 79.3

2018 cap hit: $3.1 million

Age: 26

The Packers traded Clinton-Dix this season to Washington. He will not address a need for the Browns, but is still one of the top secondary talents available this offseason. The Redskins rank toward the bottom in cap room this winter.

Don't Edit

23. Kareem Hunt, free agent RB

PFF rating: N/A (79.6 at midseason)

2018 cap hit: $642,885

Age: 24

Cut by the Chiefs in late November after video surfaced of him pushing and kicking a woman during an altercation in a Cleveland hotel last February, Hunt later went unclaimed on waivers. He had 824 yards rushing and seven touchdowns before his release. Hunt will likely face a suspension next season with any team that signs him.

Don't Edit

Don't Edit

Rick Scuteri, Associated Press

22. Ndamukong Suh, Los Angeles Rams DT

PFF rating: 80.2

2018 cap hit: $14 million

Age: 32

Suh (pictured right with Aaron Donald) was considered a one-year rental, and what a payoff he has been. The biggest beneficiary is Donald, who had the best season of his career with 20.5 sacks. Suh had 4.5 sacks. His value on the free-agent market should be higher than what his rating places him here.

Don't Edit

21. Gus Edwards, Baltimore RB

PFF rating: 80.8

2018 cap hit: $350,820

Age: 24

Edwards is an exclusive-right free agent, so his chances of reaching the market are slim. Among Baltimore's revolving door of running backs, Edwards finished the regular season strong. He had a 100-yard game against Tampa Bay, then averaged at least 6 yards per carry against the Chargers and Browns. He became the lead back in mid-November and finished the regular season with 718 yards, helping Baltimore win the AFC North.

Don't Edit

20. Mark Ingram, New Orleans RB

PFF rating: 81.1

2018 cap hit: $5.3 million

Age: 29

Ingram and Alvin Kamara made history in 2017 when they both gained 1,500 yards during Kamara's rookie season. Kamara repeated the feat in 2018, but Ingram fell short after missing the first four games because of suspension. He ran for 645 yards with 170 yards receiving.

Don't Edit

19. Bryce Callahan, Chicago CB

PFF rating: 81.4

2018 cap hit: $1.9 million

Age: 27

Callahan broke his left foot in mid-December. He served as a nickelback and started 10 of 13 games before the injury with two interceptions, two sacks and six pass breakups.

Don't Edit

18. Cameron Wake, Miami DE

PFF rating: 81.5

2018 cap hit: $9.6 million

Age: 37

Pro Football Focus' ratings favor pass rushers, and Wake's career is winding down. He told the Miami Herald in December that he will wait until this offseason to make a decision. Wake has 98 career sacks, including six this season.

Don't Edit

Don't Edit

17. Frank Gore, Miami RB

PFF rating: 82.0

2018 cap hit: $1.1 million

Age: 36

Gore sprained his foot in late December, sidelining him for the final two games. He had 722 yards rushing after signing a one-year contract. Gore is reportedly targeting a return for his 15th season.

Don't Edit

David Zalubowski, Associated Press

16. Adrian Amos, Chicago S

PFF rating: 82.9

2018 cap hit: $1.9 million

Age: 26

Amos (pictured with former Browns special teams coach Chris Tabor) will have his rookie contract expire this offseason, and Chicago has a tough decision to make. How much does it pay him? How much did Amos benefit from playing next to Eddie Jackson -- the highest-rated safety in the league, according to PFF at 93.2 -- or how much did Jackson benefit from Amos? Statistically, Amos had two interceptions, a sack and 73 total tackles. Jackson had six interceptions with 51 total tackles.

Don't Edit

15. Jason McCourty, New England CB

PFF rating: 83.1

2018 cap hit: $3.3 million

Age: 32

The Browns know McCourty from his time in Cleveland during the 2017 season. He is tasting the playoff for the first time, and proving age might, in fact, be just a number.

Don't Edit

14. Le'Veon Bell, Pittsburgh RB

PFF rating: N/A (84.3 rating in 2017)

2018 cap hit: $14.5 million*

Age: 27

First, will Bell hit free agency or the Steelers be allowed to place a transitional tag on him? His unprecedented case could be decided by an arbiter after sitting out the 2018 season. His case could come down to, as reported by ESPN, a $9.5 million transitional tag that the NFL's management council is lobbying for or the $14.5 million franchise tag the NFLPA believes Bell should get.

Don't Edit

13. Ryan Fitzpatrick, Tampa Bay QB

PFF rating: 84.4

2018 cap hit: $3.3 million

Age: 36

Fitzpatrick started Tampa Bay's first four games for suspended Jameis Winston, then came back in November for three straight starts. That fueled his rating and likely some teams looking for a stop-gap quarterback. Fitzpatrick threw for more than 400 yards in his first three starts and four times this season. Whichever team acquires Fitzpatrick will get a humble player. He reportedly told a Madden video game ratings adjuster that he thought his rating was too high. His real-life rating from PFF likely will not make him the top QB this offseason, even with it being a bare market. Nick Foles, if available, should be the most sought quarterback along with Teddy Bridgewater and Tyrod Taylor garnering more attention.

Don't Edit

Don't Edit

12. Lorenzo Alexander, Buffalo DE/OLB

PFF rating: 85.7

2018 cap hit: $3.6 million

Age: 36

An aging veteran, Alexander has graded well for several seasons -- even after posting just three sacks but with 70 tackles in 2017 (he also forced three fumbles that year). Alexander posted 12.5 sacks two years ago in his first season with Buffalo. He enters free agency after a 6.5-sack effort in 2018. Alexander expressed a desire to return to the Bills for 2019.

Don't Edit

Eric Christian Smith, Associated Press

11. Kareem Jackson, Houston CB/S

PFF rating: 85.7

2018 cap hit: $9 million

Age: 31

A hard-hitting cornerback, Jackson could be primed for a move to safety with his next contract. At times this season, he has been one of the league's best corners. Call him versatile for now, and motivated after a Pro Bowl snub.

Don't Edit

10. Brandon Graham, Philadelphia DE

PFF rating: 88.7

2018 cap hit: $8 million

Age: 31

Graham told reporters in Philadelphia that he wants to remain with the franchise he has called home throughout his career. Regardless of what happens, he will be remembered for his role last year in their run to the Super Bowl.

Don't Edit

Ben Margot, Associated Press

9. Dee Ford, Kansas City DE/OLB

PFF rating: 88.9

2018 cap hit: $8.7 million

Age: 28

A first-round pick in 2014, Ford played just six games in 2017 because of injury. He returned to form this year with 13 sacks. It is the second time in three years Ford registered double digits in that department. If he makes it to the market, expect Browns GM John Dorsey to pursue him. Dorsey made him the Chiefs' top pick in the 2014 draft.

Don't Edit

8. Anthony Harris, Minnesota S

PFF rating: 89.0

2018 cap hit: $705,000

Age: 27

A breakout player this season, Harris started nine of 15 games and played about three times as many snaps (623) than he did in any of his previous three years in Minnesota. Harris emerged because of an injury to Andrew Sendejo and started alongside Harrison Smith in the secondary. Harris began this season as a special teams contributor and did not play a defensive snap in the first five games.

7. Jadeveon Clowney, Houston DE/OLB

PFF rating: 89.2

2018 cap hit: $12.3 million

Age: 26

Expect Clowney to receive the franchise tag, but will it be at defensive end or outside linebacker? The difference could be about $2 million, with roughly $17 million the going rate for ends and $15 million for linebackers. Clowney had nine sacks in the regular season.

Don't Edit

Michael Ainsworth, Associated Press

6. DeMarcus Lawrence, Dallas DE

PFF rating: 89.5

2018 cap hit: $17.1 million

Age: 27

Lawrence played this season under the franchise tag. Do the Cowboys dare put him on it again? Lawrence dropped opposing quarterbacks in 2017 for 14.5 sacks. He didn't equal that number in 2018, but came close enough with 10.5 and is the biggest name in this market. Lawrence entered the last offseason with a PFF-best grade of 94.1 for potential free agents.

Don't Edit

5. Trey Flowers, New England DE

PFF rating: 90.4

2018 cap hit: $2.0 million

Age: 26

One of those value picks by Bell Belichick and the Patriots, Flowers turned from a fourth-round pick into a top-tier pass rusher. He has posted at least 6.5 sacks each of the last three years, including a career-high 7.5 sacks in 2018. Only Calais Campbell of Jacksonville, Houston's J.J. Watt and Chicago's Khalil Mack graded higher among edge rushers.

Don't Edit

4. Shelby Harris, Denver DE/DT

PFF rating: 90.4

2018 cap hit: $705,000

Age: 28

A former seventh-round pick of the Raiders, Harris spent the last two years with AFC West rival Denver. He had a career-high 5.5 sacks in 2017, but managed five more tackles in 2018 despite playing 125 fewer snaps. He is a restricted free agent.

Don't Edit

3. Michael Pierce, Baltimore DT

PFF rating: 90.8

2018 cap hit: $633,334

Age: 26

The Ravens found Pierce as an undrafted talent out of Samford. He has been an integral part of their defensive line since joining the franchise in 2016. He is a restricted free agent.

2. Grady Jarrett, Atlanta DT

PFF rating: 91.0

2018 cap hit: $1.9 million

Age: 26

His Super Bowl LI performance against the Patriots with three sacks put him on the map. It's been a bad year for Atlanta, especially on defense, but Jarrett remained a bright spot. He had six sacks in 14 games. His play ranked him No. 5 among interior defensive linemen, behind the Rams' Aaron Donald, Philadelphia's Fletcher Fox, Detroit's Damon Harrison and Chicago's Akiem Hicks. Note, Harrison has an out clause with the Lions that could make him a free agent.

Don't Edit

Ross D. Franklin, Associated Press

1. Earl Thomas, Seattle S

PFF rating: 91.3

2018 cap hit: $10.4 million

Age: 30

Thomas suffered a season-ending broken leg in late September, so his PFF rating could be slightly skewed -- but not by much -- because of it. Only Chicago's Eddie Jackson had a higher mark at 93.2 The good news for Thomas is the expectation he will be fully recovered this offseason for teams interested in acquiring his services. Dallas had been linked to the safety, even offering a second-round pick for him before his injury this season.

Don't Edit

MORE FREE AGENTS TO WATCH

Of course, there are plenty of impact free agents who didn't make the PFF grade and worth noting for various reasons. One is New York Giants safety Landon Collins, whose can be found below.

Another potential free agent worth noting is Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles, who has a $20 million option for 2019 that must be exercised within a week after the Super Bowl.

Here are additional free agents, listed in alphabetical order.

Jay Ajayi, Philadelphia RB -- 64.6

Kwon Alexander, Tampa Bay LB -- 59.1

C.J. Anderson, Los Angeles Rams RB -- 76.6

Tavon Austin, Dallas WR -- 72.7

Dan Bailey, Minnesota K -- 50.9

Anthony Barr, Minnesota LB -- 71.4

Teddy Bridgewater, New Orleans QB -- 58.4

Malcom Brown, New England DT -- 59.9

Trent Brown, New England OT -- 66.9

Don't Edit

Don Wright, Associated Press

Trent Brown might be the best option at tackle in the free-agent market. The Patriots shouldn't be so cap strapped that they can't keep him, but teams such as the Browns should be able to lure him with their finances if they desire.

Don't Edit

Morris Claiborne, New York Jets CB -- 62.7

Randall Cobb, Green Bay WR -- 60.2

Landon Collins, New York Giants S -- 70.4

Don't Edit

Julio Cortez, Associated Press

Arguably the biggest snub from the top 50, Landon Collins tore his labrum in early December against Chicago. He is a three-time Pro Bowler and could receive the franchise tag, which cost about $11 million last year for safeties. The Giants will have cap room, which could make him tough to pry. He will be 25 next season.

Don't Edit

Christian Covington, Houston DT/DE -- 75.9

Don't Edit

Matt Patterson, Associated Press

Christian Covington started two games, but broke out with 3.5 sacks while playing only 30 percent of the Texans' snaps. He enters free agency for the first time after being drafted in the sixth round from Rice. Covington will be 25 next season and just missed the top 50 threshold for this list with 257 snaps.

Johnathan Hankins, Oakland DT -- 66.4

William Hayes, Miami DE -- 79.8

Lynne Sladky, Associated Press

William Hayes tore his ACL in late September, a casualty of the NFL's overzealous flag-tossing policy designed to protect quarterbacks. For Hayes, it happened while trying to avoid a flag during a sack of Oakland quarterback Derek Carr. Hayes had two sacks at the time of injury.
