It appears the Cleveland Browns are not done looking for upgrades at the wide receiver position on their depth chart.

On Saturday, Mike Florio of Pro Football talk reported that former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Eli Rogers has three workouts scheduled—with the Cleveland Browns being one of those teams. While teams work out potential roster additions all the time, the link to the Browns should not be overlooked, as the former undrafted free agent out of Louisville in 2015 spent the first three years of his career with Todd Haley, the Browns new offensive coordinator.

When the rumor first surfaced, I was intrigued but wanted to see if anything came of it. With two other workouts scheduled with the Kansas City Chiefs and Oakland Raiders, the Browns link could simply have been an attempt by his agent to put a little pressure on one of the other two teams to get the deal done.

However, in a brand new edition of “Straight Talk,” sources confirmed the team’s interest to one of our Insiders. Usually this information is strictly for our subscribers, but we are giving you a sneak peek today at this tidbit of information. Our insider stated in our Rumor Central forum from his sources, “Yes, the Browns are interested in former Pittsburgh WR Eli Rogers.”

He also had additional information on the wide receiver position, with inside information on Corey Coleman, Odell Beckham Jr. and even more inside information on the rest of the roster.

Okay, shameless subscription plug aside, the noise regarding Rogers is tough to ignore right now. As OBR Insider Jared Mueller laid out in his positional preview for the wide receivers today, the Browns have a lot of talent and major decisions to make regarding the position. Adding Rogers to the mix would further muddy the situation at wide receiver.

Though his statistics from last season do not reflect it (18 receptions for 149 yards and one touchdown in 14 games), Haley certainly has a familiarity with Rogers. In his second season in the league (he spent the 2015 season on the injured reserve) in 2016, Rogers posted 48 receptions on 66 targets for 594 yards and three touchdowns. He also had an impressive 12.4 yards per catch average for the season, and his 72-plus percent catch rate was Top 10 in the league.

Unfortunately for Rogers in 2017, the Steelers made a significant investment into rookie JuJu Smith-Schuster. Coupled with the return of Martavis Bryant and the normal large load of targets going to Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell, Rogers could not find much opportunity in 2017.

If that wasn’t bad enough, Rogers suffered a torn ACL in the team’s playoff game against the Jacksonville Jaguars—further clouding his future with the team, and likely impacting his ability to sign with a team early in free agency.

Now that he is able to work out for teams, let’s discuss the potential link to the Browns.

At 5’10” and 180 pounds with a 4.39 40-yard dash, Rogers was utilized both inside in the slot and outside for the Steelers during his three years with the team. From the outside looking in, it would seem between the additions of Jarvis Landry and Antonio Callaway, coupled with Josh Gordon and former first-round pick Corey Coleman on the roster, the Browns would not have a need for Rogers at this time.

But when you unpack things a little further, especially offseason rumors GM John Dorsey was looking to trade Coleman but could not get the right compensation (that’s another sneak peek at subscriber information), it could mean the Browns are not as sold on the end of the wide receiver depth chart as many have thought.

With Haley looking to install his offense, adding a guy like Rogers he knows can produce in his scheme could be something the team opts to do as a safety net for their new offensive coordinator and quarterback Tyrod Taylor.

With so many unknowns on the roster—Callaway’s off the field, Coleman being on the trade block, Gordon always one failed test away from being suspended and Ratley’s inconsistent collegiate history—a healthy Rogers could be a better option for Haley instead of hoping someone from Ricardo Louis, Rashard Higgins and even Jeff Janis can finally show something at this level.

If the Browns do add Rogers, it will make for even more fireworks during Training Camp and on Hard Knocks. Most teams usually only keep six wide receivers when it is all said and done, and if you project the first five would be (for now) Gordon, Landry, Coleman, Callaway and Rogers (if he signs), the battle for spot six/putting together good film for another team between Louis, Higgins, Janis, Ratley and the undrafted free agents in camp is going to be must see TV.

At the end of the day, this could all be speculation and Rogers could sign with the Raiders or Chiefs and never become a factor here. But the fact that Dorsey, the Browns front office and coaching staff is still looking to upgrade the wide receiver position is one of the bigger storylines we should not ignore heading into Training Camp this week.
