Cleveland Browns
The NFLPA announced that the 32nd annual Rookie Premiere will take place next week from May 14-16 in Los Angeles, California. 42 rookies will participate in the event, which serves as a crash course on how to get acclimated to the commercial side of the NFL, as well as opportunities to make yourself more marketable.
Of the 42 players invited, the Cleveland Browns will have two rookies in attendance:
Here are some examples of things the rookies will take part in:
Across three days, rookies will participate in trading card photoshoots,...

At this point, no one expects Cleveland Browns LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah to play professional football again. While anything is possible as JOK looks to recover from his neck injury while avoiding surgery, the Browns and their faithful fans can no longer hold out much hope of Owusu-Koramoah’s return.
For the 2026 season, that became clear when the team announced that JOK would be pursuing his Master’s Degree from Harvard in the fall. At the NFL combine, Cleveland GM Andrew Berry had noted a return was unlikely, but didn’t close the door on anything.
Friday, at the start of rookie minicamp,...

The NFL has very few slow times. Things happen quickly and often in a league that wants to keep itself in the news cycle as much as possible. With the 2026 NFL draft in the rearview mirror, the NFL schedule release looming, and training camp just a couple of months away, the Cleveland Browns continue their offseason programming with rookie minicamp kicking off on Friday.
Friday, Cleveland announced the signing of eight of their 10 draft picks. Shortly after that, the team also announced signing 12 undrafted free agents who will participate in the rookie minicamp. [All of them were...

So far, so good for the Cleveland Browns 2026 NFL draft class, as eight of the 10 rookies have signed their deals at the start of rookie minicamp. The NFL’s Collective Bargaining Agreement has all but eliminated holdouts for NFL draft picks, with the rare exceptions being about guaranteed money and offset language in deals.
Last year, the issues happened around second-round picks who have slowly earned fully guaranteed contracts, like first-round picks have for a while. Browns RB Quinshon Judkins was a part of that issue.
On Friday, the first day of rookie minicamp, Cleveland announced that they have...

Change happens all the time. As our bodies grow older, stuff gets weaker and just wears out its warranty.
The owners of the Cleveland Browns, Jimmy and Dee Haslam, recently made a large donation of millions of dollars to Cleveland’s University Hospitals for the sole purpose of cancer research.

The Haslams are already members of the hospital’s board of directors, a distinction the pair have shared since 2015.
According to the hospital, the new money will be used for research on blood cancers and the development of drugs pertaining to this...

Cleveland Browns fans spent the years between 2002 and 2011 with the singular idea that “anyone but Randy Lerner” would be a good choice as owner of the city’s No. 1 sports team.
That dream became a reality in 2012 when Jimmy and Dee Haslam bought the Browns from Lerner.
It all sounded good at the time, but reality can often be a cruel mistress. In the 14 years that the Haslams have owned the team, the Browns have made the playoffs twice, while posting nine seasons with double-digit losses.
The team appears to be slowly turning a corner, with...

The Cleveland Browns roster is much improved from last season, especially on offense, where QBs Shedeur Sanders and/or Deshaun Watson will have a much higher floor of talent to work with. The Browns work in free agency, and the 2026 NFL draft has their offseason ranked near the top of the league, and saw their spot in national power rankings move up.
Projecting Cleveland’s 53-man roster is tough at this point, especially given how much of a chance they give undrafted free agents every year.
That doesn’t mean the Browns roster is perfect. Not even close. It does mean GM...

With the 2026 NFL Draft in the rear-view mirror, the Cleveland Browns offense has received a massive facelift. Both the offensive line and wide receiver rooms, which were major weaknesses going into this offseason, have been revamped and improved. With those rooms being overhauled, the floor for the offense has been established.
Cleveland’s offense should be at least competent at 10 starting positions, with some depth (unless some are traded away).
The issue? Figuring out which quarterback can lead this offense and how far that QB can take them.
As of now, based on past performances, the quarterback room for...

The Cleveland Browns are getting ready for their next set of OTAs with a roster that has seen a huge influx of talent this offseason, especially through the 2026 NFL draft. GM Andrew Berry spent a ton of resources to rebuild the team’s offensive line, starting with the trade for OT Tytus Howard, continuing in free agency with the signings of OG Zion Johnson and Teven Jenkins, as well as versatile interior lineman Elgton Jenkins, and finishing up during the draft with three linemen, including Spencer Fano.
Those additions, and a contract restructure, [could put OT Dawand Jones on the...

The Cleveland Browns are well-known for having a slew of quarterbacks. Late-night hosts use the Browns as the butt of jokes regarding this aspect. Fans of teams in the AFC North have a heyday with this aspect.
The Browns have even set some recent records. In 2023, they tied the record for the most starting quarterbacks in a single season with five. Then the following season, they started four. That set a new record for the most starting quarterbacks in a two-year timeframe with nine.
