Updated 53-man roster projection after trade for Za’Darius Smith

The roster currently sits at 90 right now after the Cleveland Browns landed former Minnesota Vikings pass rusher Za’Darius Smith in a trade. They then added veteran cornerback Chris Westry to the roster to round it out to completion.

The Browns, however, will have to cut that roster down from 90 to 53 by the time the preseason comes to a close. What could that final 53-man roster look like by the time we reach Week 1? Here is a final 53-man roster projection for the Browns after landing Smith from the Vikings.
