    The Cleveland Browns wrapped up their preseason schedule on Saturday night with a 37-33 loss on the road against the Seahawks in Seattle.

    Now that the Browns are back home in Cleveland, they have a lot of evaluation to do because they have to cut this team all the way down to 53 active players by Tuesday. Some of them them will be moved to the practice squad, and but many of them will be looking for new football homes on Wednesday.

    Coach Kevin Stefanski revealed that it’s a lot tougher than we might think.

    “Everything is tough. Every decision is tough," Stefanski said. "That’s a good roster. That’s a good problem to have when you have tough decisions to make."

    The Browns have one of the best top to bottom rosters in the league, so a lot of the players they cut could find other homes very quickly.

    One of the players that other teams might be looking at is quarterback Tyler Huntley. ... should Cleveland allow him to go. In the final preseason game, the former undrafted free agent connected on 17-of-22 passes for 146 yards and three touchdowns.

    There are a few quarterback-needy teams that could even offer to trade for Huntley to ensure he makes it to their roster.

    A lot can happen over the next few days, but you can bet Stefanski & Co. are trying to put the best possible roster together by Tuesday.
