CLEVELAND -- NFL free agency kicked off a week ago, but despite making multiple signings, the Cleveland Browns might not be done yet.

According to multiple reports, the Browns possess interest in two of the bigger names that still remain un-signed. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Cleveland is one of four teams vying for free agent wide receiver Allen Hurns. The Dallas Cowboys, New York Jets and Baltimore Ravens are also reportedly interested in the former Jacksonville Jaguars wideout.

Limited due to injuries, Hurns caught 39 balls for 484 yards and 2 touchdowns in 10 games in 2017. His best season came in 2015, when he hauled in 64 catches for 1,031 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Adding the 26-year-old Hurns would aid the Browns in continuing to bolster what was a depleted receiving corps in 2017. Two weeks ago, Cleveland acquired 3-time Pro Bowl wideout Jarvis Landry in a trade with the Miami Dolphins.

In addition to Hurns, the Browns are also interested in free agent cornerback E.J. Gaines, according to the NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Per Garafolo, Gaines, who played 11 games with the Buffalo Bills a season ago, will visit with Cleveland on Friday.

Gaines, who has started in 36 of 37 games in his three-year career, reportedly visited with the Arizona Cardinals last week. He would be the third cornerback acquired by the Browns thus far this offseason, joining free agent signees T.J. Carrie and Terrence Mitchell.

According to ESPN's Roster Management System, the Browns have more than $75 million in cap space remaining.
