Cleveland Browns
There is often an interesting dichotomy when it comes to former Cleveland Browns. Former Browns players almost always laud the city and the fans, with mixed feelings toward the actual organization. Former Cleveland coaches and executives seem to spend most of their time talking about the Browns in a negative fashion.
Who can blame people like Joe Banner, Cleveland’s former CEO, for having a bit of bitterness toward the team that once employed him? Since parting ways with the Browns, the former Philadelphia Eagles executive has not held another position in the NFL. Whether that was by choice, because of...

The Cleveland Browns and New York Jets are set to do battle in East Rutherford, New Jersey (hey, at least the Browns new stadium won’t be in a different state when they move). Two of 14 teams with three or fewer wins this season, the Jets tore things down at the NFL trade deadline while Cleveland was mostly inactive.
Heading on the road to face New York, the Browns got some surprising news on Friday with both TE Harold Fannin Jr. and, more surprisingly, LB Carson Schwesinger practicing. WR Cedric Tillman was activated on Saturday, while [WR Garrett Wilson was...

Did you miss them?
The Cleveland Browns are back in action today as they take on the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. Both teams should be rested and ready for some football after enjoying their bye weeks.
Both teams will look a bit different as Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski has turned over the offensive playcalling to offensive coordinator Tommy Rees, and the Jets decided to embrace a lost season by trading away cornerback Sauce Gardner and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams.
Stay with Dawgs By Nature throughout the day as we will have the full list of inactives, quarter-by-quarter...

The Cleveland Browns face the New York Jets on the road today. Here are some notes about the matchup & information on how you can watch or listen to the game.

During the season, Cleveland Browns fans vote in SB Nation Reacts to express their confidence level in the team or their thoughts on other topics.
The Browns are coming off the bye, and saw fan confidence tick up by 9 percentage points up to 18%. It’s nothing drastic, but it’s the type of small bump I expected because Cleveland fans didn’t have to suffer through the stigma of a loss last week. I think some of the bump has to do with the expectations that they’ll beat the Jets this week too. Speaking of the Jets, their confidence sits pretty...

This Sunday, the Cleveland Browns take on the New York Jets. Below, we analyze a few advantages, disadvantages, or general thoughts about the two teams before getting to our predictions for the game.
As a fan, for weeks, I’ve been looking at the upcoming game against the New York Jets and chalking it up as a win. Even as we are less than 24 hours away from kickoff, my brain can’t fathom an outcome in which the Browns lose this game. And yet, at the same time, I ask myself, “How is it possible to...

The Cleveland Browns were quiet at Tuesday’s trade deadline despite the fact that, as the cool people like to say, general manager Andrew Berry is “always open for a trade.”
Berry did pull off one trade, sending little-used defensive end Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and a 2026 seventh-round draft pick to the Chicago Bears in exchange for a sixth-round selection in the same draft.
The lack of action from a two-win team needing help along the offensive line and wide receiver, as well as many future draft picks as possible to rebuild the roster, left some feeling disappointed.
That was also in...

The Cleveland Browns have struggled on offense through the first eight weeks of the 2025 NFL season.
No matter if it was veteran Joe Flacco (14 points per game and eight turnovers in four starts) or rookie Dillon Gabriel (17.5 points and a total QBR of 25.9 in the past four games), the offense has had a difficult time getting out of its own way.
Part of the problem has been the play of the wide receivers, where presumptive No. 1 Jerry Jeudy has been ineffective, and a group of youngsters has yet to find their groove.
The annual trip...

The Cleveland Browns and New York Jets are two franchises that share more similarities than their fans would probably like to admit.
Consider that:

Prioritize the Run
The New York Jets’ rush defense has allowed 135.8 rushing yards per game this season, ranking them in the bottom quarter of the league. The Cleveland Browns’ run game has been underperforming this season, but this would be a prime opportunity to heavily involve Quinshon Judkins in the game plan and focus on the running attack.
Get pressure on the Jets QB
The Jets have not officially announced who will be starting at quarterback in this game. Regardless of whether Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor gets the nod, the Browns will need to apply pressure early and...

The Cleveland Browns move forward after the NFL trade deadline with a roster that is really lacking in specific areas on the offensive side of the ball. The team could be in contention soon if it can address three key areas. With the deadline come and gone, the Browns will continue to make roster moves, including a linebacker to the practice squad this week, but none are likely to be major.
Cleveland has two roster spots available at this time, heading into Week 10 against the New York Jets. One is likely to be filled by [the activation of WR...

Fans of the Cleveland Browns have seen it all. When a team is struggling, they will pull out all the stops to try to motivate their team, get an advantage over the other team, or just plain be confusing. The Browns made their big change by putting OC Tommy Rees in charge of play calling coming out of the bye week. Paul DePodesta’s departure will not impact on the field things but was big news this week as well.
For the New York Jets, trading away their two best defenders indicates that they are focused on the future, but HC...
