The 2024 season was the Cleveland Browns' 72nd as a member of the National Football League (NFL), their 76th overall, and their fifth under the head coach/general manager tandem of Kevin Stefanski and Andrew Berry. The Browns failed to improve on their 11–6 record from the previous season and failed to win the AFC North title, finishing with a 3–14 record. This extended their division title drought to 32 seasons, having last won the then-AFC Central in 1989. The Browns failed to return to the playoffs after having qualified in 2023.

On January 24, the Browns hired Duce Staley as their running backs coach.

Cesaire was previously the defensive line coach for the Houston Texans from 2022–2023.[6] On January 28, the Browns hired Ken Dorsey as their offensive coordinator. Dorsey was previously the offensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills from 2022–2023, and had played quarterback for the Browns from 2006–2008.[7] On February 7, the Browns hired Andy Dickerson as their offensive line coach.
