When the Cleveland Browns acquired WR Jerry Jeudy in 2024 and signed him to an extension, they were rolling the dice that they found an under-the-radar way of getting a new No. 1 receiver. For the first season, it worked. He had career highs with 90 catches for 1,227 yards and 4 touchdowns. This past season, though, it all went down the drain and then some. He finished with 50 catches for 602 yards and 2 touchdowns, but it wasn’t just a byproduct of a bad offense. Jeudy himself was the opposite of clutch, consistently making bad plays in key...

In many ways, the story around the Cleveland Browns has remained the same heading into the 2026 season: What is the deal at the quarterback position? The offensive line has been upgraded, and the wide receiver room saw an update this offseason, while RB Quinshon Judkins and TE Harold Fannin Jr. are the bedrock of the offense’s future.
The defense is looking to replace two key components: DE Myles Garrett and DC Jim Schwartz. Adding DE Jared Verse in the Garrett deal puts a lot of pressure on the young defensive end, while [CBs Denzel Ward and Tyson Campbell are...

The Cleveland Browns have done a pretty good job over the past four to five seasons of cultivating and developing talent at the cornerback position, and they should be able to reap the benefits of it again in 2026. Denzel Ward has been lights-out since 2021, and the trade for Tyson Campbell last season turned out to be an excellent move by Andrew Berry and Co.
It’s a bit sketchy in terms of depth behind those two guys, though, with Myles Harden and Dom Jones not necessarily living up to expectations yet. Myles Bryant was brought in as a free...

The Cleveland Browns had a productive season from their linebackers in 2025.
Carson Schwesinger, a second-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, led all rookies in tackles (146), tackles for loss (11), and added two interceptions and two-and-a-half sacks to earn Defensive Rookie of the Year honors.
Next to Schwesinger was Devin Bush, who had a career-high 124 tackles and returned two of his three interceptions for touchdowns.
The only person missing was Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, whose career appears to be over after not having played since suffering a neck injury against the Baltimore Ravens in 2024.
Looking to the 2026...

The Cleveland Browns are heading into training camp with a better defensive tackle room than they’ve been getting credit for. Yes, there are definitely some questions surrounding Mike Hall Jr.’s health and what Kalia Davis is going to be for Cleveland, but the talent in the room is undeniable.
Mason Graham and Maliek Collins could also form one of the top defensive tackle duos in the conference in 2026 if new Browns DC Mike Rutenberg can figure out how to utilize them effectively without Myles Garrett on the outside.
Starter – Mason Graham

Everybody knows that Johnny Manziel and the Cleveland Browns never really got along, for various reasons, and Manziel has been very outspoken about why over the past few years. Now, he discussed what could have happened if Cleveland never traded up to take him at pick 22 in the 2014 NFL Draft.
On a recent episode of The Rich Eisen Show, Manziel divulged that another AFC team could’ve selected him if former Browns GM Ray Farmer didn’t trade up to get him:
“Going into the draft we felt like our floor was 23—I think Andy Reid really liked me and...

The NFL does a great job of making news all year round. Back in the day, the season ended by Christmas, the owner’s meeting was a few weeks later in mid-January, the draft commenced in April, and training camp kicked off in July with the season beginning in September. And that was it.
But now? Something is going on every single month for Cleveland Browns fans to look forward to. Most of it is well-planned out.

In the world of the NFL draft, there are many sites and people who have made an impact, starting with ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr., who loved the Cleveland Browns 2026 NFL draft class. The NFL draft has been considered the fourth major US sport, at least in the media world, which has led to the proliferation of draft-oriented sites, shows, and personalities.
Given what is expected to be a big quarterback draft in 2027, including with a big-name like Arch Manning involved, we can expect the attention on the draft to increase. One of the sites that has risen out...

When it comes to the Cleveland Browns, the quarterback position is the great unknown. No one knows for sure whether Deshaun Watson or Shedeur Sanders will be the starter. Based on the team’s recent history, the most likely outcome is that both players, plus at least one more, see time as the starter for the Browns this season.
Can Watson have a bounce-back season, six years after his last good one? Can Sanders take a huge step forward after a poor rookie campaign? What role, if any, will Dillon Gabriel and Taylen Green play?
