Browns: QB situation is acceptable for 2025

Browns: QB situation is acceptable for 2025

Cleveland knows from horrible quarterback rooms. But the current group should be able to hold it together for a season.

If there was ever an NFL team that knows bad quarterbacks, it is the Cleveland Browns.

Since returning to the league in 1999, the Browns have rolled out quarterback rooms that featured Trent Dilfer, Charlie Frye and Frisman Jackson (2005); Derek Anderson, Brady Quinn, Ken Dorsey and Bruce Gradkowski (2008); Brandon Weeden, Thaddeus Lewis, Colt McCoy and Josh Johnson (2012); Cody Kessler, Josh McCown, Robert Griffin III, Charlie Whitehurst and Kevin Hogan (2016); and DeShone Kizer, Kevin Hogan and Cody...

Browns have ‘sense of urgency’ and ‘accountability’ heading into training camp but do those words matter?

Browns have ‘sense of urgency’ and ‘accountability’ heading into training camp but do those words matter?

Browns roster might lack some talent but expectations are still higher within the team

There are a few things Cleveland Browns fans agree on, in general, including the desire for their team to win games. There is almost always a general sense that Browns fans want their team to run the ball, stop the run on defense and show heart, even in a modern NFL where throwing the ball, stopping the pass on defense and controlled aggression seem to lead the way.

Cleveland HC Kevin Stefanski’s stoic approach has often rankled fans who want to see more emotion, more screaming...

Browns roster: Keeping 4 quarterbacks is possible

Browns roster: Keeping 4 quarterbacks is possible

With only Dillon Gabriel costing a premium (ish) pick, the Browns have a lot of QB options with their roster

Two veterans. Two rookies. If you were to ask someone who is in the current Cleveland Browns quarterback room, that’s the answer you would be given, with little else known. With training camp happening in late July, many want to know what the Browns quarterback room is going to look like. The team is likely going to keep all four QBs throughout the duration of camp and then will get a further evaluation of the quarterbacks in joint practices and...

Cuyahoga County Council: Browns are going to Brook Park

Cuyahoga County Council: Browns are going to Brook Park

County officials call on County Executive Chris Ronayne to give up the fight to keep the Browns in Cleveland.

Cleveland Browns owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam have spent the past year making it clear where they expect to be playing home games beginning in 2029.

In a $2.4 billion domed stadium located in the Cleveland suburb of Brook Park.

Ever since the news broke in February 2024 that the Haslams were ready to join other NFL owners with a new stadium and adjacent entertainment and business complex, they have worked to secure the appropriate land and line up the required...

Who is Cleveland’s ‘make-or-break player’ in 2025?

Who is Cleveland’s ‘make-or-break player’ in 2025?

The Browns are banking on Dawand Jones settling in at left tackle.

The Cleveland Browns have experienced long periods of uncertainty over the years, but for 11 years, there was one area everyone could count on.

Starting from Week 1 of the 2007 season through Week 7 of 2017, Joe Thomas was a mainstay at left tackle. If the Browns had a game, Thomas was there every time for every snap, right up until he suffered an injury against the Tennessee Titans that ultimately led to his retirement after the 2017 season.

Since then, the Browns have added left tackle...

NFL coaches, execs, scouts name Browns move as one of their ‘favorite’ from offseason

NFL coaches, execs, scouts name Browns move as one of their ‘favorite’ from offseason

The NFL draft is a huge part of the offseason and Browns GM Andrew Berry made a big move to set team up well

The NFL offseason is pretty much done as mandatory minicamps come to a close and training camp is a month and a half away. There will be a number of moves still, especially and obviously when teams have to get down to their initial 53-man roster, but NFL free agency and the NFL draft are all but complete for the 2025 offseason.

For the Cleveland Browns, the decision to trade down from the second overall selection...

Browns QB ‘derby’ includes Joe Flacco having to have ‘some trust’ in Kevin Stefanski

Browns QB ‘derby’ includes Joe Flacco having to have ‘some trust’ in Kevin Stefanski

Most assume Joe Flacco leads the Browns QB competition over Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders

Whether the Cleveland Browns are competitive in 2025 will largely depend on the Myles Garrett-led defense and whether the team gets competent quarterback play. With four quarterbacks competing for the starting job, Browns training camp will mostly be focused there.

Shedeur Sanders continues to get a lot of attention, including for his positive role off the field in the community, but, along with Dillon Gabriel, the rookies will need to put in a lot of extra work if they are going to win...

3 UFL players the Browns should consider

There are still holes on the Browns roster that need depth

The Cleveland Browns are just over a month from the beginning of training camp. Their roster is completely full. But that hasn’t stopped GM Andrew Berry from tweaking it each week. It is common for him to drop a guy with a new player already signed.

It just so happens that an entire league just completed its season with eight teams’ worth of available players. The United Football League (UFL) concluded its season last Saturday, June 14, with their league championship game in which the DC Defenders defeated the...

Browns Myles Garrett on the road back to Defensive Player of the Year award

Browns Myles Garrett on the road back to Defensive Player of the Year award

Browns roster is led by former DPOY Myles Garrett who could be set for another shot at the award

When you look at the top edge rushers in the league, Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett is surely at the top of everyone’s list. The only person who is close to Garrett is Dallas Cowboys defensive end Micah Parsons, who is looking to get paid just like Garrett. If you were to turn on the tape and watch Garrett’s film, you would see why so many offenses are fearful of him and how big of a game wrecker he is....

Browns: 1 quote about each 2025 draft pick

Browns: 1 quote about each 2025 draft pick

Here is what Cleveland’s coaching staff has to say about this year’s rookie draft class.

It is a well-known fact that every NFL team loves its incoming rookie draft class.

Starting with the Tennessee Titans and the No. 1 overall selection in quarterback Cam Ward to the New England Patriots and Memphis defensive back Kobee Minor at No. 257, every team selected the exact player they wanted at the exact right pick over the three days of the draft.
