The Browns spent much of the 2020 offseason gathering offensive personnel who would fit Stefanski's wide zone offense and improve Mayfield's existing supporting cast of Pro Bowlers, which included wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry, running backs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt, and left guard Joel Bitonio. On March 16, in the first hours of free agency, the Browns signed right tackle Jack Conklin and tight end Austin Hooper to multi-year contracts, and on April 23, the Browns selected left tackle Jedrick Wills with the 10th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. The Browns' preparation for the 2020 season was limited due to restrictions implemented by the NFL in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which included cancelling in-person OTAs and minicamps, reducing training camp roster sizes, and cancelling all preseason games.
