New Cleveland Browns general manager John Dorsey isn't impressed by the roster the previous regime left him with, but he's still aiming to go from worst to first in the AFC North next season.
"I'm the eternal optimistic,'' Dorsey said Thursday on WKNR 850's "The Really Big Show," according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. "I believe we have to be competitive in the AFC North and my total objective going into the '18 season is to win the AFC North. Anything else to me is unacceptable.''
Dorsey said his predecessors didn't get "real players," and quickly put his stamp on the roster, sending free-agent bust Kenny Britt packing.
However, despite his optimism, the Browns haven't provided much evidence they're ready to compete with the Pittsburgh Steelers or Baltimore Ravens for AFC North supremacy.
Cleveland has lost 15 straight games within the division and has won just one game total since head coach Hue Jackson was hired in 2016.
