Browns enter offseason with more questions than answers

All eyes are on the Browns' front office in the days, weeks and months ahead.

Why it matters: Cleveland finished last in the AFC North for a second consecutive season and has question marks at key roles within the franchise.

Driving the news: The Browns' season ended on a good note with a win against the Cincinnati Bengals.

• The team finishes with a record of 5-12 and the No. 6 pick in April's NFL Draft.

Cleveland will have to answer several questions until then:

Who will be head coach?

The Browns Monday fired Kevin Stefanski, a two-time Coach of the Year.

• The job may not be all that attractive, given Cleveland's horrendous salary cap situation caused by quarterback Deshaun Watson's massive contract.
• Offensive coordinator Tommy Rees and defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz are rumored to be potential replacements.

Is Shedeur Sanders the future?

A new head coach will have to determine if fifth-round pick Sanders is a franchise quarterback.

• Sanders showed flashes of potential during the final seven weeks of the season and his inexpensive rookie contract gives the Browns money to spend elsewhere.

What's the draft plan?

Cleveland has two first-round picks. If Sanders isn't the answer, do they dare draft another quarterback?

• This isn't a loaded quarterback draft class, and the Browns have other needs on offense, including wide receiver and offensive line.

Will Deshaun Watson be a Brown next season?

Watson's contract, which is loaded with guaranteed money, makes it nearly impossible to get rid of him.

• Sanders and Watson, who sat out this season with an Achilles injury, could compete for the starting job.

The bottom line: How you feel about the Browns' ability to turn things around may depend on your belief in miracles.
