2025 NFL schedule: Browns set to renew team’s first-ever rivalry

2025 NFL schedule: Browns set to renew team’s first-ever rivalry

It all began in another NFL rival league

If you are a Cleveland Browns fan, you are quite aware of the fierce rivalry the club has with each member of the AFC North Division. And rightly so. Whichever team wins the division title receives an instant berth into the postseason tournament, bragging rights, and a chance to play in that year’s Super Bowl, where the winner is crowned the league’s champion.

Add the fact that these teams play each other twice each season. That adds up to a ton of games, which gets each squad very familiar with the other...

Saints Derek Carr’s retirement could impact Browns QB room

Saints Derek Carr’s retirement could impact Browns QB room

The Saints may have a motive to begin calling the Browns about a veteran QB.

Earlier this offseason, the Cleveland Browns were rumored as potential suitors for Derek Carr if he were to become available via a trade. The veteran QB has now decided to retire from the league, weeks after reports of dealing with a shoulder injury that could impact his availability for this season.

With Carr deciding to retire, the depth chart of the New Orleans Saints is left at the top, with two young quarterbacks, Spencer Rattler and rookie Tyler Shough. The Saints drafted Shough with the...

NFL schedule release: All I want for the holidays is no Browns games

NFL schedule release: All I want for the holidays is no Browns games

Schedule rumors have already started but here is to hoping the Browns don’t play on the major holidays

The machine that is the NFL marches on with another event that is nothing more than information that could have been an email. That doesn’t mean it isn’t exciting and something to look forward to but, similar to the drafting of players, there is no action on the field (the reason the league is so popular) and yet the NFL draft and schedule release get huge ratings and attention.

For the Cleveland Browns, who have already [lost a home game for their...

The NFL schedule release is right around the corner and the Browns have some powerhouse QBs on theirs

The fact that the NFL has somehow made the release of its schedule an annual event is just more proof of the marketing skills of the league. The 2025 NFL schedule release will take place in stages, with the full schedule being revealed this Wednesday evening.

For the Cleveland Browns, and others with international games or important stand-alone contests, some of the schedule will be released the days prior. We will know the details of the Browns London game on Tuesday.

Sunday Dawg Chow (5/11): How about those rookie QBs!

Sunday Dawg Chow (5/11): How about those rookie QBs!

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

The Cleveland Browns conducted the second day of rookie minicamp on Saturday and it was also an opportunity for the media to speak with quarterbacks Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders.

The day also brought a look at changes coming to the running back position, some early impressions of the rookie class, and, oh by the way, a surprise retirement in New Orleans that the Browns may be able to capitalize on down the road.

All that and more in today’s edition of the Sunday...

Browns Dillon Gabriel, Shedeur Sanders say the right things, show personality differences

The Browns 2 drafted quarterbacks spoke to the media about each other, QB competition

In an event that was ripe for proclamations, drama and sound clips that could be played for the rest of the offseason, Cleveland Browns QBs Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders provided none of that. After being drafted two rounds apart, the more subdued Gabriel spoke first, with Sanders following his teammate in talking to the local media in person.

Both quarterbacks were asked about competing with each other and provided similar answers. Gabriel talked about beating himself from the day before, wanting to “get 1% better”...

Browns rebuilding RB room behind rookie duo

Browns rebuilding RB room behind rookie duo

They may not be Nick Chubb, but Browns banking on Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson to carry the load.

The Cleveland Browns are entering a new era at running back in 2025.

Nick Chubb, who was the league’s best running back for five seasons, remains a free agent and is currently not in the team’s plans after consecutive seasons cut short by injuries.

Jerome Ford remains on the roster, but his future appears to be trending downward after the Browns reworked his contract earlier this month.

In their place are rookies...

Cleveland Browns Hidden Gems: The secret superstars on the 2025 roster

Cleveland Browns Hidden Gems: The secret superstars on the 2025 roster

Three quietly underrated players on the Browns’ 2025 roster.

The Cleveland Browns come into the 2025 league year with all kinds of questions, few of which were answered in free agency or the draft. Caught between a win-now mentality and the inevitable negative drive of age and injury at several positions, the current franchise would obviously love to improve on last year’s 3-14 record, but to what end?

The quarterback position, now ostensibly split between Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders, has been bollixed for years by the shadow of Deshaun Watson, and it’ll still be a...

Browns 2023 season: Surprising Jerome Ford, Nick Chubb data from last year

Browns 2023 season: Surprising Jerome Ford, Nick Chubb data from last year

Browns roster feels incomplete without Nick Chubb while Jerome Ford was surprisingly on the right side of things

Trying to wrap our hearts around RB Nick Chubb most likely being done with the Cleveland Browns is tough. Rustylou from our comment section was far from alone in having an emotional response to GM Andrew Berry’s comments:

Fans, players and media were inspired by Chubb.

Logically, Chubb’s decline on the field was pretty obvious last year. That doesn’t mean he won’t bounce back with an offseason to get ready instead of trying to get healthy, but his 3.3 yards per carry...

Browns free agency, draft: What grade would you give the offseason as a whole

Browns free agency, draft: What grade would you give the offseason as a whole

NFL free agency, NFL draft and trades have reshaped the Browns roster but what grade would you give it?

The NFL offseason has unofficially come to a close, except for a rumor here and there. Teams are beginning offseason workouts, along with rookie minicamp starting, followed by OTA’s starting soon after that.

The Cleveland Browns offseason was short of drama based on the past few but still had its moments. The team wasn’t nearly as active, but it didn’t stop the team from getting into any headlines. Some offseason moves made sense while other moves were head-scratching. Overall, the offseason...

5 non-drama reasons for Shedeur Sanders' fall, the 2 he must overcome for the Browns

Save the drama and rumors, Shedeur Sanders fell for a few reasons but has 2 he must overcome

The soap box that I used back in 2023 for many of my takes will not be brought back (it’s been retired… for now). Sometimes, it will be brought back out, but it stays in the closet for now.

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders had an interesting draft weekend to say the least. Many expected Sanders to be drafted during the first day of the draft. Sanders doesn’t hear his name. Day 2 rolls along, and many believe that he will...
