NFL Network’s Mock Draft tries to solve 2 major Browns problems in first round

Abdul Carter, Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders are Browns options, this NFL mock draft gives them 2 of them

Since the end of the NFL season, the conversation for Cleveland Browns fans around the NFL draft has been about choosing one of four options with the second overall pick:

  • QB Cam Ward
  • QB Shedeur Sanders
  • DE Abdul Carter
  • WR/CB Travis Hunter

A few want the Browns to trade up or down, one of which GM Andrew Berry buried at the NFL meetings this week.

With Ward seemingly locked into the first spot in this year’s draft,...

NFL owners pass 3 resolutions for rule changes, table others; Tush Push update

NFL owners pass 3 resolutions for rule changes, table others; Tush Push update

Overtime will have new parameters

Rules and rule changes occur constantly in the NFL. Back when the league began in the 1920s, they simply did whatever college football did, but as the years rolled along, the league and its owners decided to make the game their own with variations of rules.

So, changing the game is nothing new for the Cleveland Browns and their fans.

This week in South Florida, the NFL owners are in the midst of their annual meeting. Numerous rule changes or alterations were discussed, but only three were voted on and approved.

The most significant is...

Analyzing Colorado WR/CB Travis Hunter as a potential draft pick for Cleveland

The Cleveland Browns need to add more depth and playmaking ability to the wide receiver room in 2025, and this year’s NFL Draft class is loaded with options in multiple rounds for Andrew Berry and Co. to choose from.

Elijah Moore is currently a free agent, and James Proche recently signed with the Titans, so the Browns must find talented replacements for both of these players this offseason.

Colorado WR/CB Travis Hunter is a player who could be on the Browns’ radar heading into draft weekend due to...

Kirk Cousins to Browns seems more likely than not, Insider says ‘enough smoke, conversations’

Kirk Cousins to Browns seems more likely than not, Insider says ‘enough smoke, conversations’

Kirk Cousins rumors have spread since last season, finally resolved at the NFL draft?

With free agency starting last month, the Cleveland Browns were as active as people expected them to be. The only move that the team made of significance was giving star defensive end Myles Garrett a new contract, making him the highest-paid non-offensive player in the league.

What about the quarterback? Yes, the team traded for Super Bowl champion quarterback Kenny Pickett, but everyone knows Pickett is not the answer long term and hopefully not the 2025 answer. Who is? No one knows for sure, but [rumors...

Browns Andrew Berry, Kevin Stefanski seemingly get a restart in 2025

Browns fans and media might have Berry and Stefanski on the hot seat but owner Jimmy Haslam does not seem to

There is a saying that “Statistics don’t lie, but liers use statistics.” In professional sports, that “only stat that matters is wins and losses,” but so much more goes into a team’s success or failures than just one or two decision makers.

For the Cleveland Browns, the decision to trade for and sign QB Deshaun Watson has been an abject disaster, costing the team draft picks, cap space, money, fans and, in the end, a lot of games. [GM...

Browns will know stadium situation by June 30

Browns will know stadium situation by June 30

Team will learn if the state is funding $600M of domed stadium project this summer. If not, then Browns will move to “Plan B.”

Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam took full advantage of the media accessibility on Monday at the NFL’s annual league meeting in Florida.

Haslam revealed what everyone has known for a while: the club missed badly with the trade for quarterback Deshaun Watson. Staying with the quarterback theme, he also shared that the club is still evaluating the bargain bin of free-agent quarterbacks, with Joe Flacco “still in the conversation” for a potential return to Cleveland.

Browns free agency: Update on Joe Flacco

Is there still hope for Flacco-to-Cleveland?

Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam was firing out headlines left and right at the NFL Annual League meeting. First, he finally called the trade for Deshaun Watson a “big swing and a miss.”

Then, when speaking about the team’s quarterback situation for the 2025 season (besides having already acquired Kenny Pickett from the Eagles), he said that the team is looking at a bunch of veteran quarterbacks. He also said that Joe Flacco, who is still beloved by many Browns fans for his heroics in 2023, “is in the conversation” for Cleveland:

That doesn’t...

The final nail in the coffin for Deshaun Watson.

Sound the alarm — Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam has finally admitted defeat when it comes to the Deshaun Watson trade.

The NFL’s Annual League meeting is taking place over the next few days in Palm Beach, Florida, where we’ll get to hear a bunch of juicy sound bites or news on rule changes for the 2025 season. GM Andrew Berry already talked the other day about some draft-related business, but it was Haslam’s turn to speak on Monday. That’s where the biggest quote of the weekend was unleashed:

Also, an interesting wrinkle to the kickoff rule would make touchbacks less enticing.

What rule changes are on the table for the 2025 NFL season? Below, we summarize the rule change, bylaw, and resolution proposals for the 2025 season. These proposals will be voted on during the Annual League Meeting, which takes place from March 30-April 2 in Palm Peach, Florida.

NFL Draft Rumors: Browns’ most feasible 1st round trade partner

NFL Draft Rumors: Browns’ most feasible 1st round trade partner

One particular NFC South team could be trying to move up in the 2025 NFL Draft

The Cleveland Browns currently possess the No.2 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, but there’s no guarantee that they’ll keep it if they receive an enticing trade offer on draft night.

As of right now, it’s fair to say that the team should hold on to the pick and take a quarterback, but if Andrew Berry falls in love with the value of a trade proposal, he’ll heavily consider it.

Though a few teams could want to move up to No.2, one specific franchise...

Browns fans: Would you rather trade for Micah Parsons or Brock Purdy?

Lot of NFL rumors but Brock Purdy, Micah Parsons not involved but provide a backdrop for Browns discussion

The NFL draft is next month (we can only say that through the end of Monday) and we are no closer to finding out what the Cleveland Browns are doing with the second overall pick than we were when the season ended. GM Andrew Berry spoke to the media Sunday afternoon, with HC Kevin Stefanski following suit Monday morning.

Neither really said much, but we at least get to speculate on what “skew young” means for the Browns quarterback room.
