Cleveland Browns
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...

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...

NFL trade rumors will start to swirl slowly as teams get a chance to look at their rosters in minicamps
With NFL rookie minicamps underway, teams get a chance to start to evaluate the prospects they drafted in ways they couldn’t before. Often, whether good or bad, an adjustment in evaluation is possible within just a few days.
For the Cleveland Browns, and their biggest roster hole, there isn’t a receiver from their NFL draft class to evaluate, which could allow an undrafted free agent or tryout player to get a chance at the position. Friday, we shared [a rumor...

The latest Cleveland Browns news and notes from around the NFL in the Saturday Dawg Chow.
The Cleveland Browns opened rookie minicamp on Friday at team headquarters in Berea.
It is the club’s first opportunity to work with the 2025 draft class and undrafted free agents, and over the next three days, there will be plenty of focus on rookie quarterbacks Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders.
Who is getting the most practice reps? Who looks better than throwing to receivers in shorts and T-shirts with no defense? Who will separate themselves and have the greater social media presence?

NFL draft contracts are starting to come into focus with the Browns getting 2 deals done
The words “fully guaranteed” and “Cleveland Browns” are etched in infamy after the Deshaun Watson contract, so we understand if Browns fans have some trepidation throughout this article.
Prior to the Browns rookie minicamp opening up, where the two drafted quarterbacks looked mostly good throwing, including 7 on 7 drills, we shared how the Houston Texans broke the mold with a fully guaranteed contract for their second-round pick, WR Jayden Higgins. Never had a second-round pick received a contract like that and Cleveland selected...

A category breakdown of who is participating in Browns rookie minicamp this weekend.
Cleveland Browns rookie minicamp is officially underway in Berea and will run from May 9-11, before a few of the rookies head off to the NFLPA Rookie Premiere.

Browns roster is close to set, Nick Chubb lingers in NFL free agency
The Cleveland Browns head into rookie minicamp with two new running backs selected in this year’s NFL draft, but fans continue to want to know what is going on with RB Nick Chubb. When the Browns used a second-round pick on Quinshon Judkins and a fourth-round pick on Dylan Sampson, Chubb’s future in Cleveland was in great doubt.
While the Browns might like to have Chubb back, when they gave Jerome Ford a different contract for 2025, Chubb’s future with the team was all but set.
