The Cleveland Browns need a quarterback, but that’s not their only area of concern right now.
The left tackle position has been a major headache for most of the season, and it likely won’t get any better for the remainder of the year.
Dawand Jones’ tenure as a starter was shortlived, as he sustained a season-ending injury.
Jedrick Wills Jr. lost his starting spot and is set to become a free agent.
With that in mind, Jason Lloyd argued that the Browns’ failure to give him a contract extension speaks volumes about their desire – or lack thereof – to sign him.
Talking on the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show, he claimed that the Browns, a team that usually gets deals done right away, allowed Wills to play on the fifth year of his contract because they don’t think he’s a part of their future.

The veteran tackle is also dealing with a knee injury and suffered a setback.
It doesn’t seem like he’ll be healthy again, and he may have played his final game with the organization already.
Wills also faced some serious backlash for stating that he had made a “business decision” not to play because of a knee injury and lost his starting job shortly after.
It’s hard to envision him being back with the team next season unless he agrees to a low-money kind of deal, and even then, he might not start.
