Cleveland Browns
The Cleveland Browns are welcoming back a familiar face as Ryan Grigson is reportedly coming back to town to serve as a senior football advisor in general manager Andrew Berry’s front office.
That is according to Mary Kay Cabot at cleveland.com.
This will be Grigson’s third tenure with the Browns. He was first brought in by Berry after the 2017 NFL Draft, but was fired the following January when John Dorsey took over as general manager and ushered in the “football guy” era of Browns football.
Berry returned to Cleveland in 2020, however, and once again called on Grigson, who...

When it comes to on-field production, no one has come close to matching former Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett. Last year, obviously, Garrett set the single-season sack record despite the Browns winning just three games. New Cleveland DE Jared Verse made it clear that he has no plans to fill Garrett’s (literally) smaller shoes for the Browns defense, but the young, talented defensive end could provide something different than Garrett as well: Vocal leadership.
Garrett did spend time teaching and helping his teammates, but his personality was never one to scream, demand, or call teammates on the carpet. [Verse has...

Training camp for the Cleveland Browns doesn’t begin until mid-July, but the news cycle doesn’t stop. As it stands, the current quarterback room is below average, based on past performance. Deshaun Watson hasn’t played close to what he did with the Houston Texans. Shedeur Sanders is entering his second year, but his rookie season didn’t show enough for the team to warrant a long-term commitment. Dillon Gabriel’s ceiling has been established as a backup, and Taylen Green is a development project.
A room filled with many questions and not a lot of talent. It doesn’t stop the trade rumors from...

Each season brings a few players who outperform expectations and impress fans with what they accomplish on the field. This season will be especially interesting with a new coaching staff; there may be some young players who mesh well with these coaches and take a big leap. For the Browns, there are a few players who stand out as having a great opportunity to do something special this season.
Isaiah Bond
Bond’s ability to play at a high level this season will likely be contingent on the level of quarterback play this team gets. Regardless, he is in a great...

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel never really had a chance in his rookie season.
Selected in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, fans quickly declared that the pick was a mistake as Gabriel would have been “nothing more than an undrafted free agent” if only general manager Andrew Berry was not a bumbling fool.
During training camp, Gabriel was derided by some in the media as being worse than one of the team’s ballboys. Which is odd, since Gabriel was Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year as a senior, and, as “everyone knows,” the Big Ten is...

An amazingly convoluted and winding story may have finally had its final chapter for 2026. Given the litigious nature of things already, this is probably not the last we have heard of QB Brendan Sorsby’s career and pursuit of the NFL, but as of Tuesday, the league has denied his entry into the Supplemental Draft.
The risk-reward of selecting Sorsby has been a big discussion point among Cleveland Browns fans. Those in favor of the move are now back to looking at options in the 2027 NFL draft and/or hoping Shedeur Sanders has a big-step-forward season, if he isn’t traded....

The Cleveland Browns rarely have a quiet offseason. Such is the fate of a team trying to win the AFC North for the first time with no real certainty at the quarterback position. Out is former HC Kevin Stefanski, replaced by HC Todd Monken. Gone are long-standing veterans like DE Myles Garrett, OL Joel Bitonio, OL Wyatt Teller, and TE David Njoku.
NFL free agency and the NFL draft saw the Browns remake their entire offensive line and add weapons for Monken’s new offense. The Garrett trade brought back DE Jared Verse and draft capital to try to offset the...

As just an owner of sports franchises, Jimmy Haslam’s impact has been huge. Since buying the Cleveland Browns, Haslam has been a part of forcing the selection of QB Johnny Manziel, allowing then-OC Kyle Shanahan out of his contract, trading for QB Deshaun Watson, trading away QB Baker Mayfield, a myriad of head coaching and front office decisions, building a dome, and trading DE Myles Garrett this offseason.
Earlier this offseason, Haslam promised to spend more time with another one of his teams, the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks. Late Monday night, the Bucks, like Haslam’s Browns with Garrett, traded their biggest...

The Cleveland Browns know how to stay in the headlines, just not for their on-field production. From the QB Johnny Manziel saga to the trade for QB Deshaun Watson, the search for the elusive “Franchise Quarterback” has been an arduous one.
Many Browns fans are now worried that the team might select QB Brendan Sorsby in the NFL’s Supplemental Draft, adding another risky (potentially bad) decision to the search for a quarterback. Cleveland’s quarterback room already includes Watson, Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, and Taylen Green. Adding Sorsby’s gambling issue, no matter how talented he might be, [is too risky for...

This morning, the NFL unveiled the schedule of when rookies and veterans will report to training camp for each of the 32 teams. Here are those dates for your Cleveland Browns:
In addition, the league also reported when the first joint practice session would be for a visiting team. This year, the Buffalo Bills are visiting Berea, OH for a practice session on August 20. I’m a little surprised by that, because teams typically tend to have two days of joint practice sessions together before their preseason game. The Bills...
