The Browns keep making roster moves and today had a slew worth discussing. Jake and Brad work through a busy day of Browns of those transactions — the surprising waiver of Michael Coats Jr. (injury-driven), the signing of EDGE Sam Williams and CB Noah Igbinoghene to the 53-man roster, and the final practice squad additions including Jaleel McLaughlin, Messiah Swinson, and bringing back Chris Williams.

The Browns keep developing their final roster and we got more news yesterday.

They close with a quick trip around the league to go over the vast amount of movement, including several trades.
