Dawgs By Nature:

• Breakdown of OL Teven Jenkins contract with the Browns (Chris Pokorny) - It’s not often that contract projections are so far off-the-mark for players hitting free agency in the NFL, but that’s what happened when the Cleveland Browns signed OL Teven Jenkins last week.
• Browns rumors: What I expect happens at QB, top 2 picks in NFL draft with under month to go (Jared Mueller) - The NFL draft kicks off in less than a month, April 24 to be exact, and the Cleveland Browns will be on the clock quickly.

We don’t know, but we can probably narrow the options down to five.
• 2025 NFL Draft: How good is this class of quarterbacks? (cleveland.com) - We’ve seen so many times in past years that the quarterbacks taken at the top of the NFL draft are the ones who were highly touted as high schoolers. This year’s likely No. 1 pick, Miami’s Cam Ward, couldn’t have had a more different path.
• Devin Bush believes the Browns can return to competing in 2025 (clevelandbrowns.com) - As linebacker Devin Bush walked into CrossCountry Mortgage Campus, a wave of familiarity passed over him. That familiarity played an important factor into his decision to...
