One thing about Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski is that he recognizes the importance of special teams. A lot of fans don’t understand the skill needed for these units.
Special teams is the field goal team, which scores points. The guys who block, the players on the outside who defend the edge, the holder who catches a spiral pass and then has to place the ball down at the precise angle with the laces facing forward, the pass from the long snapper has to be exact and straight. The kicker, who is already moving even before the ball is...

During the offseason, Cleveland Browns fans vote in SB Nation Reacts to express their confidence level in the team or their thoughts on other topics.
Our first question asked if the Browns’ offseason and preseason performance affected fan confidence. Despite the four-way quarterback battle, the team letting Nick Chubb go and having their top drafted running back still be unsigned, and not really upgrading the wide receiver room, 50% of fans are more confident in what the team can bring to the table in 2025. I think there is definitely a case for that, but I ended up voting with...

In example #103532 of why the “initial” 53-man roster is never the “final”53-man roster, the NFL continues to have roster moves (some huge like the Micah Parsons trade) three days after the first cutdown happened. The Cleveland Browns initial 53-man roster has already seen a couple of changes to it along with two waves of practice squad signings.
For a team that likely needs to be led by their defense, especially with something missing from the run game, the Browns will sorely miss LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (JOK) and CB Martin Emerson Jr. Injuries are a part of the game but...

If we are being honest, Cleveland Browns fans have a lot of reasons to be jealous of Dallas Cowboys fans. While the Cowboys haven’t won a Super Bowl since 1995, they have one a Super Bowl (whereas the Browns championships were before that particular game existed). Even the down years in Dallas are A) few and far between and B) have never been worse than a single four-win season since 1965.
The Cowboys are also an overall mess, with owner Jerry Jones also the general manager of the team. The Micah Parsons trade is just another example of having the...

The Cleveland Browns entered 2025 with a clear plan on how to fix an offense that was unwatchable in 2024.
The first step was to clean out the quarterback room, which now features veteran Joe Flacco, and rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. Oh, and Bailey Zappe is back on the practice squad as a “break glass in case of emergency” option for Week 18.
The next step was to attack the running game, which had taken a step back in the past two seasons due to running back Nick Chubb’s injuries. General manager Andrew Berry added a pair of...

The story of the Cleveland Browns over the years has been filled with many highs and lows, and it’s easy to wonder how just one different decision or play might have completely reshaped the direction of the franchise. There are so many moves, big and small, that Browns fans naturally remember as franchise-altering.
Let’s revisit a few of these ‘what if’ moments that could’ve changed everything:
3. What if the Browns drafted Julio Jones instead of trading that pick to the Atlanta Falcons?
In the 2011 NFL Draft, Cleveland held the 6th overall pick — the same spot where the...

When Kevin Stefanski was hired as the Cleveland Browns’ new head coach back in 2020, he was hired for his offensive prowess and knowledge.
He was responsible for bringing the stagnant Browns offense to life from the disaster of former head coach Freddie Kitchens and developing a method to score lots of points. In today’s NFL landscape, placing 17 points on the board each game won’t cut it. Stefanski was supposed to be the answer to an offensive attack that had no direction.

And right off, Stefanski had a lot of success. His offense...

The Cleveland Browns selected defensive tackle Michael Dean Perry in the second round of the 1988 NFL Draft.
That selection helped take some of the sting as Perry was sandwiched between linebacker Clifford Charlton (first round) and linebacker Van Waiters (third round) for the Browns in that year’s draft. In seven seasons with the Browns, Perry was a First-Team All-Pro twice and added five Pro Bowl selections.
On Saturday, Perry will be honored by Clemson when he is inducted into the program’s Ring of Honor at halftime of Clemson’s game against LSU.
Perry played for Clemson from 1984-87 and was...

NFL teams have been busy setting their 53-man rosters and practice squads this week, in anticipation for the regular season. The Cleveland Browns appear to be all set for Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Now, let’s go through and look at the list of former Browns players who didn’t survive this year’s camp across the NFL. Some of the names may make you think, “Oh, I didn’t realize they were still in the NFL.” When you think of the number of former Browns each camp, though, it’s also a sign of just how few names there are, meaning a...
