The Cleveland Browns are not one of the top offensive units in the NFL this season, but their defense has been a great group, and could very easily be a playoff-caliber unit.
Amid such a situation, the Browns are, unsurprisingly, going to focus on making offensive changes next season. But just how far they go with those changes is unknown.
According to ESPN writer Daniel Oyefusi, those offensive changes are expected to be "major." Shedeur Sanders and the Browns will have a new-look offense next season.
Browns expected to make major changes to offense in 2026
"The Browns offense is due for major changes," Oyefusi writes. "Cleveland produced the league's lowest-scoring offense last season and opted for only a few renovations."
Those changes didn't work, and now, amid issues with the offensive line, shaky and inconsistent quarterback play, and playmakers who have not lived up to expectations, the Browns must make changes for next season.
Kevin Stefanski might be on his way out, and there could be major changes to follow with his departure. If the coaching staff changes, then a lot could look different next season.
But, beyond the coaching staff, the offense needs an overhaul. The offensive line needs improvement badly, and most importantly, the wide receiver room needs to find a true number one.

Jerry Jeudy, Cedric Tillman, Isaiah Bond, and the rest of the receivers are nowhere near good enough. A true number one option would be a huge need, as, regardless of the quarterback, his options wouldn't be the best with this WR corps.
The Browns, fortunately, don't need to address the running back or tight end room. Harold Fannin Jr. And Quinshon Judkins are elite rookies and should be mainstays for years to come. Dylan Sampson and a depth tight end are all Cleveland needs to lock up both spots.
Quarterback is a big issue, and whether it's Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, or another option, the Browns are still facing some uncertainty at the position, regardless of who they go with.
However it shakes out, Oyefusi is predicting major change coming for Cleveland this offseason, as a lot of new faces could come into the offense next season, especially at WR, OL, and maybe even at the playcaller spot.
