Despite Browns struggle, Myles Garrett gets ESPN mention for midseason award

Despite Browns struggle, Myles Garrett gets ESPN mention for midseason award

Reigning Defensive Player of the Year gets love from ESPN’s midseason awards

It hasn’t been good enough for the Cleveland Browns this season despite a talented roster. While there has been good plays and good players game to game, the season is lost due to lack of production and consistency across the roster.

DE Myles Garrett has stated as much and included himself as someone who needs to do more to help the team win. If Garrett had it his way, he’d be leading the Browns to a total for Cleveland. Instead, the best the Browns can hope [for is...

Browns should turn to DTR sooner rather than later

Browns should turn to DTR sooner rather than later

In a lost season, Cleveland may as well see what Dorian Thompson-Robinson can do as the starting quarterback.

The Cleveland Browns have questions surrounding the quarterback position that need answering in the coming weeks and months.

The biggest one, of course, is the fate of quarterback Deshaun Watson, who is sidelined for the remainder of the season with a torn Achilles. The Browns owe Watson $46 million in each of the next two seasons, the final ones of his $230 million fully guaranteed contract, so that decision is one for down the road.

Browns Andrew Berry, Kevin Stefanski futures: League’s expectation regarding a change

After the Deshaun Watson trade and a failure in 2024, Berry and Stefanski may not be on the hot seat

In most things, especially professional sports, there are facts and there are opinions. The facts for the Cleveland Browns are not good in 2024. The team is 2-7, traded away veterans DE Za’Darius Smith and WR Amari Cooper and are focused on the NFL draft and NFL free agency.

Once again in Cleveland, the focus is on the quarterback position. While the upcoming draft has some interesting names, a savior might not be there for the Browns.

Another fact is...

Browns NFL draft: QBs worth drafting, avoiding and taking a flyer on

Browns NFL draft: QBs worth drafting, avoiding and taking a flyer on

Shedeur Sanders is the big name but what about Cam Ward and who is Kurtis Rourke?

Like leaves during the fall, things can change quickly. Going into the season, many fans (and most of our DBN staff) had brimming optimism and excitement about what the Cleveland Browns could do after a promising 2023 campaign.

Fast forward to today, the team sits at 2-7 with their playoff hope all but officially dashed and will now look forward to evaluating what they have and making decisions. Mainly, the quarterback decision.

Let’s get this out of the way. Quarterback Deshaun Watson’s tenure in...

As the Browns season is basically over and we wait during the bye week, some thoughts and jots around football

There are odd circumstances that occur in the universe of professional football. My opinion needs to come and mention and/or discuss some of these things. Hopefully you will be entertained.


1. The Washington Commanders are having a really good year. Their head coach Dan Quinn is an excellent defensive mind. This Sunday they host the Pittsburgh Steelers. Both clubs are leading their respective divisions so it should be a marquee game. There is a problem looming for the home...

Thursday Night Football, Week 10: Bengals vs. Ravens open thread

Browns fans can also use this as an open thread.

Week 10 of the NFL season kicks off tonight as the Cincinnati Bengals take on the Baltimore Ravens.

According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Ravens are 5.5 point favorites against the Bengals. This is a game that Browns fans wish they could get excited for with respect to divisional purposes, but how can you really? By the end of the game, the Browns will still be four or five games behind the Bengals or Ravens, with eight games to go.

As for the game itself, the Ravens got over their 29-24...

Browns’ defensive snap counts, stats, and notes: Week 9 - Communication

Two communication breakdowns ruin the day on defense.

Below, we analyze the snap counts and stats on defense for the Cleveland Browns’ Week 9 game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

  • DL: It wasn’t the Browns’ defensive line that was responsible for the loss to the Chargers. Myles Garrett had three sacks on the day (although all of them came within a four-play stretch), and then the now-departed Za’Darius Smith (77.8), Dalvin Tomlinson (89.1), and Isaiah McGuire (78.8) were the team’s top-three graded defenders, according to PFF.
  • LB: Even though the Browns’ front seven didn’t appear to be the...

With the Browns now on the bye, we take a glance back at their bad game against the Chargers.

Below, we analyze the snap counts and stats on offense for the Cleveland Browns’ Week 9 game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

  • QB: I was excited of the fact that the Browns won against the Ravens with Jameis Winston having a big day, but I wasn’t fooled in the sense that things are going to be easy with him. I said ahead of time that he will sling it and it’ll lead to a lot of interceptions at times. It...

NFL free agency: 9, soon to be 10, 2024 starters at QB set to hit the market

NFL free agency: 9, soon to be 10, 2024 starters at QB set to hit the market

Sam Darnold, Russell Wilson lead the way

The path moving forward for the Cleveland Browns, like most teams, starts with the quarterback. At least on the field. Jimmy Haslam first has to decide what happens with GM Andrew Berry and HC Kevin Stefanski. The power structure with the Browns is key when understanding decisions.

With Berry and Stefanski likely, but not certainly, back in 2025, what happens at quarterback can be assumed or guessed but no one knows for sure:

  • Jettison Deshaun Watson anyway they can
  • Keep Watson on the roster but make him the inactive backup -...

As the Cleveland Browns spend time on their bye week prepare to play out the rest of the 2024 NFL season, fans are looking ahead. While GM Andrew Berry, as expected, provided very little tangible plans for the future including QB Deshaun Watson when he spoke to the media on Wednesday.

What we know is that the Browns young players and the NFL draft hopes are really what matters for the rest of the year. [WR Cedric Tillman has...
