Browns games: Best seat in the house in Cleveland

Browns games: Best seat in the house in Cleveland

Browns fans are the best fans but where is the best place to sit?

We truly believe that fans of the Cleveland Browns are the best in all of American sports. Adding the “American” part is out of respect for some of the international fan bases that seem similarly devoted. Perhaps we will see some overlap when the Browns face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5 of the 2025 NFL season.

With the NFL’s schedule release complete, including some interesting social media videos from all the AFC North teams, we now know when visitors will come to Cleveland and face...

Can the Browns build a decent WR room with UDFAs?

Can the Browns build a decent WR room with UDFAs?

There should be opportunities during training camp for this quartet of wide receivers.

Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry took a hands-off approach to the wide receiver position during the 2025 NFL Draft.

On the one hand, that is understandable. The Browns have Jerry Jeudy coming off the first 1,000-yard receiving season of his NFL career. Cedric Tillman also put together a nice string of games in 2024 before missing the final six games with a concussion. And free agency brought Diontae Johnson, a solid receiver but also one who struggled last season.

On the other hand, the club does...

Browns duo earn spot on All-PFF Team of the past 25 years

Browns duo earn spot on All-PFF Team of the past 25 years

Joe Thomas and Myles Garrett recognized for their greatness.

The Cleveland Browns have not had much going for them in the past 25 years.

Four winning seasons. Three playoff appearances and just one win. Seventeen seasons with double-digit losses. And the infamous winless season of 2017.

And quarterbacks. So many quarterbacks.

Despite all that, the Browns have still had some memorable players. Running back Nick Chubb, offensive linemen Alex Mack and Joel Bitonio, kick returner Josh Cribbs, and kicker Phil Dawson all come to mind.

Two players stand at the top, however, so it is fitting that offensive tackle Joe...

Saturday Dawg Chow (5/17): Rookie QB battles, roster moves, contract signings, and more!

The latest Cleveland Browns news and notes from around the NFL in the Saturday Dawg Chow.

The Cleveland Browns are still about two months away from the start of training camp, and almost four months remain until the start of the 2025 season.

But that has not stopped the chatter around who will quarterback the team when the games matter. Did Shedeur Sanders gain the upper edge in rookie minicamp? Or does Dillon Gabriel hold the upper hand?

Or does it all not matter since neither player has faced an NFL defense, let alone engaged in a competition with veteran...

What Browns Shedeur Sanders, Baker Mayfield have in common: Former GM makes bold statement

What Browns Shedeur Sanders, Baker Mayfield have in common: Former GM makes bold statement

Scot McCloughan helped lead the charge on drafting Baker Mayfield, has high praise for Shedeur Sanders.

As the Cleveland Browns prepare for a difficult schedule, the biggest storyline of 2025 will be the quarterback competition. A former GM weighed in on one of the rookies that Cleveland drafted at the position with a bold prediction.

Scot McCloughan, the former general manager of Washington and San Francisco, appeared on The Pacman Jones Show and was asked about his evaluation of Shedeur Sanders.

McCloughan said he gave Sanders a first-round grade and followed it up with an emphatic endorsement by saying:

AFC North: Only the Ravens are drama free and ready for the season

The Browns and Steelers seem set to compete for the basement but only the Ravens seem to be ready for season

The AFC North is one of, if not the, hardest divisions in the NFL. It is not an excuse for the Cleveland Browns struggles to actually get over the hump to becoming a consistently good team but it doesn't make it any easier.

Browns fans, in general, understand their team pretty well. For many, expectations are very low for the 2025 season, matching how the NFL schedule makers set up Cleveland’s contests. There is [a little bit of excitement...

The Browns 7-person NFL draft class now adds Harold Fannin Jr. to the two previous signings

In many ways, the schedule slows down a bit when it comes to NFL news now that the 2025 NFL schedule has come out. The league made it clear their low expectations for the Cleveland Browns with how the schedule was put together, but the Browns are hoping that their 7-person NFL draft class and key offseason moves will help prove the schedule makers wrong.

Getting those draft picks signed is generally an easy process, but the Houston Texans decision with their second-round pick...

5 offseason moves that have reshaped the Browns for 2025

5 offseason moves that have reshaped the Browns for 2025

Coaching changes, NFL free agency, NFL draft and more have shaped the 2025 Browns

The Cleveland Browns won just three games last year. With so few wins and a ton of losses, obviously, changes needed to be made going into the 2025 season. And not just one or two here and there, almost every position that overflowed into the coaching staff.

On paper, the 2024 Browns looked pretty good. The year before, they had made the playoffs, finished in second place in the AFC North Division, and held the highest Wild Card seed for the postseason. Head coach Kevin Stefanski...

Browns: Veteran LB named team’s most underrated player for 2025

PFF taps Jordan Hicks as a player who deserves more attention for what he brings to the field.

The Cleveland Browns are in a bit of a transition phase at the linebacker position heading into 2025.

While it was not a surprise, the news earlier this week that linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah was being placed on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list was still disappointing. Owusu-Koramoah has been dealing with a neck injury since the middle part of last season and will now miss the entirety of the 2025 season.

The club is also dealing with an off-field incident involving [Devin...

Who is the early favorite with Cleveland at home?

The 2025 NFL schedule was officially released on Wednesday, including the order of games for the Cleveland Browns. There are interesting stretches and nuances to the schedule, including the fact that the Battle of Ohio will begin the season in Week 1 and conclude the season in Week 18.

The Browns will host the Cincinnati Bengals in the first game at Huntington Bank Field on September 7, 2025, and with it being the first game, that means FanDuel Sportsbook already has odds out for Week 1:
