Cleveland inks quarterback Shedeur Sanders to his rookie contract

Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry is slowly working his way through the team’s seven-man draft class.

After previously signing third-round tight end Harold Fannin Jr., second-round linebacker Carson Schwesinger, and fourth-round running back Dylan Sampson, Berry got done to business by signing quarterback Schedeur Sanders on Monday afternoon.

Browns Roster: Grading the position groups on starter talent, depth, injury concerns, more

It’s time to grade Andrew Berry on his roster construction after the final additions were made last week.

We are a little over a week away from seeing the Cleveland Browns' rookies and most veterans on the practice field together during voluntary minicamp. The 90-man roster is full, and we are likely to see very few moves between now and training camp.

Now is a good time to evaluate the team that general manager Andrew Berry and the front office have put together. For this exercise, we will rank each position group based on the following criteria:

2025 Browns schedule: The hard start is the hard part, with a little hope for improvement

Browns schedule was bound to be tough but the start is really difficult

After much delay (and a lot of leaks), the 2025 Cleveland Browns schedule was finally unveiled. Everyone knew who the Browns were playing this season, but they didn’t know on a week-to-week basis. Here is the official schedule, and here are some key takeaways:

No Prime-Time Browns

After having four primetime games last year (two were later flexed out), as of now, the Browns do not have any primetime games for this season. The last time Cleveland didn’t have any primetime games was 2017, which was...

The Browns NFL draft class should get signed in time for training camp but one deal might linger

The Cleveland Browns have a solid seven-man NFL draft class going into the 2025 season. Browns GM Andrew Berry entered this year’s selection process with a load of picks in the sixth and seventh rounds but ended up not selecting anyone after picking QB Shedeur Sanders in the fifth.

So far, Berry has locked up three of the team’s seven selections to contracts:

There are a lot of things about the NFL schedule release that are interesting. Who gets prime-time games, the social media posts from teams, when the bye week lands and when key matchups are placed on the schedule. The league tends to tell teams what it thinks of them in a lot of ways, including telling the Cleveland Browns that the expectations are low, with zero prime-time games.

When the Pittsburgh Steelers were matched up across from the New...

Drafted after Quinshon Judkins, why Dylan Sampson could be the surprise from the Browns NFL draft class

Much will be made about the Cleveland Browns and their quarterback room. The attention is deserved, even if the Browns didn’t select Shedeur Sanders in the fifth round. Selecting Sanders after nabbing Dillon Gabriel in the third round adds to the interest and attention in an offseason where Kenny Pickett was added in a trade and aged veteran Joe Flacco re-signed after a year away from the team.

Despite all that attention, it is Cleveland’s running backs that could carry the load despite...

Browns 90-man roster after free agency, draft and rookie minicamp

Browns 90-man roster after free agency, draft and rookie minicamp

Browns roster has a unique look to it with a lot of veterans and young players

In many ways, the Cleveland Browns roster looks like a hodgepodge of differing goals and objectives. Extending DE Myles Garrett and bringing back QB Joe Flacco, along with OL Joel Bitonio putting off retirement, screams of a team that wants to win in 2025. Trading down from the second overall pick to acquire an extra first-round pick in 2026 and drafting two quarterbacks in 2025 seems to point to a rebuild process.

In the NFL, you just never really know what a team will...

Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel and Quinshon Judkins among the 42 rookies present

The Cleveland Browns have a seven-person NFL draft class where the big decision was who they didn’t draft (along with having an extra first-round pick next year) and the biggest name/story is their final selection, QB Shedeur Sanders. The Browns rookie class finished up rookie minicamp and were joined by veterans for a few days of offseason activities.

All seven have a long way to go with the hopes that DT Mason Graham, LB Carson Schwesinger and RB Quinshon Judkins will have the biggest impact. QB Dillon Gabriel...
