McGuire racked up 36 tackles (18 solo), including 2.5 sacks, plus three forced fumbles across 16 regular-season appearances with the Browns in 2024.

EDGE Analysis

McGuire ramped up his involvement on defense Year 2, managing to close out the campaign as a clear starter. The 2023 fourth-round pick suited up for just four games as a rookie, but he's now demonstrated a legitimate ability to contribute on defense. He'll spend the offseason looking to further his development in Cleveland's scheme.

McGuire will be given chances on the second team defense after injuries to defensive end Alex Wright (knee) and Isaiah Thomas (knee), Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGuire, a rookie drafted in the fourth round, lined up with the twos Monday, as did Sam Kamara. The Browns feel good about the top three ends -- Myles Garrett, Za'Darius Smith and Ogbonnia Okoronkwo -- but new defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz planned to utilize a bunch of different pass rushers. Both Thomas and Wright are expected to miss extended time.
