The story for the Cleveland Browns over the last few seasons has mostly been about injuries and the ability to either overcome them or failing to do so. Even this year’s quarterback competition, won by Joe Flacco, and backup quarterback competition have been marked by how injuries have impacted them.

On Tuesday, CB Denzel Ward left practice early with an arm/upper body injury that could have created significant problems for the defense. With CB Martin Emerson Jr. already lost for the season, losing Ward for a significant time would have greatly impacted the chance that the defense could carry the...

The Cleveland Browns made a move on Monday to bolster the wide receiver group by signing undrafted free agent Isaiah Bond.

Originally projected as a Day Two selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, Bond did not hear his name called as he was facing sexual assault allegations. Those charges were “no-billed” by a grand jury in Texas last week, however, and the Browns quickly signed Bond on Monday to a three-year, fully guaranteed contract.

On Tuesday, Bond met with the media for the first time in Cleveland to talk about why he signed with the Browns and how he plans...

What once was a battle of four quarterbacks is now down to three for the Cleveland Browns. Joe Flacco won the quarterback competition, primarily by being the seasoned veteran who didn’t get injured. Whether starting Flacco a majority of the games ends up being a mistake or not, the Browns QB battle is now about the backup positions with Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders all battling for the spot.

Coming back from his hamstring injury, Gabriel seemed to come out of Week 2 of preseason healthy, while Sanders sat the game out due to an oblique injury. Pickett,...

Earlier this offseason, we asked the question whether the Cleveland Browns decision at quarterback should decide the direction of the team or should the direction of the team decide who was the starting quarterback. Frankly, it was a question about whether the Browns should be playing for the future or trying to win games now.

Cleveland’s roster is an older, expensive roster, but few believe that it was one that was ready to compete for an AFC North title or more, no matter who was starting at quarterback. Veteran Joe Flacco always seemed like the most likely starter [and was...

Last season, the Cleveland Browns’ offensive scheme evolved from prior seasons to fit what Deshaun Watson excelled at most. With a completely new quarterback room this season, it appears that the offense will be shifting to include more elements of what Kevin Stefanski prefers to run. While the offense will continue to evolve, especially with the addition of Tommy Rees, there are several ways that Stefanski’s offensive scheme should lead to more wins for this team.

The first being red-zone efficiency – the team consistently struggled to convert in the red zone last season. They were 27th in the league...

• Joe Flacco named Cleveland Browns starting QB (Chris Pokorny) Flacco is back as the Browns starting quarterback.
• Speculation continues over Browns QB room (Thomas Moore) The Browns have named Joe Flacco as the starter. But what of the rest of the QBs currently on the roster?
• Quinshon Judkins might not be joining Browns anytime soon (Jared Mueller) Browns fans hoping to see Quinshon Judkins anytime soon might be disappointed

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski ended the most unsurprising quarterback competition on Monday with the announcement that veteran Joe Flacco will be the starter come Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Now with just a handful of practices and one preseason game remaining before teams have to cut their rosters down to the initial 53 by 4 p.m. on August 26, speculation has turned to just what Cleveland’s quarterback room will look like that afternoon.

It is possible, although it feels unlikely and unnecessary, that the Browns will roll with four quarterbacks: Flacco, veteran Kenny Pickett, and rookies Dillon...

When news came down that RB Quinshon Judkins was not going to face charges on a domestic violence case from last month in Florida, many assumed that the Cleveland Browns would get a deal done quickly and have their second-round pick on the roster soon. We even took a look at what the Browns offensive depth chart might look like with Judkins and, since signed, WR Isaiah Bond.

As it seems with most things around the Cleveland team, including the proposed new stadium, nothing seems to be simple. On the same day that multiple reports have [the Browns naming **Joe...

The “mystery” is over: Joe Flacco has been named the Cleveland Browns starting quarterback for Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

It’s certainly been a unique story for Flacco, who was a long-time division rival as a member of the Baltimore Ravens. The Browns signed him amid quarterback injuries late in the 2023 season, and he heroically came off the street to lead Cleveland to a high-octane offense and a 4-1 record to clinch a postseason spot. In 2024, though, with Deshaun Watson set to return from injury, Cleveland didn’t even offer Flacco a contract to return as a backup....

The Browns have officially signed former Texas wide receiver and pre-2025 NFL Draft darling Isaiah Bond following his visit to Cleveland on Saturday. His 3-year deal was made official this morning, and Browns fans everywhere are gushing with excitement based on Bond’s potential with the team.

The thrill is definitely warranted, as Bond might be the most explosive player that the team has had in its wide receiver room in quite some time. He has the type of straight-line speed and acceleration to take a bubble screen or underneath route 50 yards downfield at any moment, but he isn’t the...

The Cleveland Browns were one of pro football’s original dynasties, stacking championships and playoff appearances for the first 25 years of their existence.

Along the way, they built a home-field advantage at Cleveland Municipal Stadium that would see crowds in excess of 80,000 of the league’s best fans.

Beginning in 1970, the on-field success was harder to find, but there were still periods with playoff runs, most notably in the mid-1980s when the Dawg Pound made coming to Cleveland a daunting prospect for opposing teams.

Things have rarely gone according to plan since the Browns returned to the NFL in...
