Cleveland was one of several teams allowed to begin its off-season workout program early because the team hired a new coach. The Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers also began their programs Monday. The Denver Broncos begin their off-season program Tuesday.

The Arizona Cardinals, Cincinnati Bengals, New York Jets and Green Bay Packers begin their programs next week. Other NFL teams begin their off-season programs on April 15.
