Browns sign first-round pick Mason Graham: how much will he make?

Browns sign first-round pick Mason Graham: how much will he make?

Cleveland has now locked up 5 of their 7 rookie draft picks.

Don't expect any holdouts from the Cleveland Browns' rookie draft class. On Tuesday, the team announced the signing of first-round defensive tackle Mason Graham, who was selected with the fifth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

After previously signing third-round tight end Harold Fannin Jr., second-round linebacker Carson Schwesinger, and fourth-round running back Dylan Sampson, the most recent signing had come a little over a week ago, when fifth-round quarterback Shedeur Sanders signed.

Now, five of the team's seven draft picks are signed. The only players remaining...

3 Players who could end up being more impactful than currently expected this season

The Cleveland Browns signed 11 free agents so far this offseason to go along with their 7-man 2025 NFL Draft class, and a few of the guys who aren’t as popular could end up being more important to the team this season than everyone expects.

It’s no secret that Cleveland’s been plagued with injuries over the past few seasons at almost every position, so it could be logical to think that some of the guys signed as “depth” this year could be seen as potential starters...

Browns schedule: OTAs start with mandatory minicamp around the corner

Another step toward training camp with the first OTA workouts

The pomp and circumstance around the Cleveland Browns is significantly muted this offseason, with a reset to the roster and GM Andrew Berry and HC Kevin Stefanski seemingly getting a restart. The hype would be even less, but the Browns selected social media superstar Shedeur Sanders, which brings with it attention, sponsorships and potentially more.

For now, the four-way competition at the quarterback position is the most interesting part for Cleveland, along with the potential for turning back the clock and [following the recent trend in leading with a rushing...

Shedeur Sanders' new car purchase draws attention before Browns OTAs

Wealthy family, social media star means lots of opportunity despite fall in NFL draft

Back in the day, rookie players in the NFL made the least amount of money. Veterans treated them bad, and bossed them around in practices as well as off the field. Veterans did not associate with “rooks” at restaurants or bars. Most rookies never even saw the field for a minimum of two seasons.

Just the way it was.

But now? A team’s starting quarterback can be a rookie. So can the left tackle and one of the cover cornerbacks. An EDGE pass rusher picked in...

Browns Deshaun Watson return talk comes out of nowhere, likely meaningless

Browns Deshaun Watson return talk comes out of nowhere, likely meaningless

Could Deshaun Watson return? Anything is possible but its unlikely to matter for Browns

Never say never. It’s pretty obvious that the Deshaun Watson era for the Cleveland Browns fell flat on its face. For some reason, Watson never was able to recapture his Houston Texans form as he dealt with suspension (his first year in Cleveland, he missed half the season) or injuries (suffering two season-ending problems).

It felt as if everything seemed too difficult for Watson to play the quarterback position as he struggled in a massive way, and it seemed he wasn’t in the right mental state....

Browns: 5 players under pressure in a contract year in 2025

These players need to regain their mojo this fall to earn that next payday.

The Cleveland Browns will spend the next seven months evaluating the current situation at quarterback.

Between now and the start of the 2026 NFL Draft, the team needs to know, or at least have a solid understanding, what rookie quarterbacks Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders bring to the field. If they can successfully do that, then general manager Andrew Berry will have a clear picture of how to use the pair of first-round picks he currently has in his pocket.

While most of the focus will...

Rushing attacks won last year, does that mean the NFL cycle is changing again and can the Browns duplicate it?

Rushing attacks won last year, does that mean the NFL cycle is changing again and can the Browns duplicate it?

The Browns returning to their glory years offense could coincide with the NFL’s switch as well

It seems obvious that the Cleveland Browns will return to the glory years of the team’s run-first offense in 2025. Some will note that the lack of certainty at quarterback is one of the reasons, and a good one, but the talent of RBs Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson, along with Jerome Ford returning, would help the Browns limit their passing attempts this season.

If the comparisons between Alvin Kamara and Sampson come to pass, Cleveland might have a close facsimile to the **Kevin...

Should the Browns turn back the clock on offense?

Should the Browns turn back the clock on offense?

The QB position is still unsettled, so could Cleveland take a page from 1985 and build a run-first offense in 2025?

The Cleveland Browns headed into the 1985 season with questions on offense.

After making the ill-fated decision to move on from quarterback Brian Sipe, the offense struggled with Paul McDonald running the show. The Browns averaged just 15.6 points per game, scored 17 or fewer points 10 times, and finished with a 5-11 record.

In an attempt to remedy the situation, the Browns brought in veteran quarterback Gary Danielson and...

At what stage of teams’ competitiveness is the sweet spot for Cleveland fans?

Expectations are low for the Browns but the Cavs and Guardians are on a different level

Expectations are a heck of a thing. Go to a movie you think will be great, and you are more likely to be disappointed. If you didn’t know much about that movie or weren’t expecting much, you were more likely to enjoy it.

As a sports fan first and a writer second, I’ve always struggled with the stages of competitiveness for teams. While everyone will say that winning a championship is the most important thing (it is), the process, not the outcome, can be...

The sports giant identifies one player at every position who is currently undervalued in some way

The Cleveland Browns have been getting a ton of press lately after QB Shedeur Sanders fell from the first round to Round 5. It seems every move he makes becomes a national story.

The NFL schedulers didn’t think that aspect of the Browns was enough to give them additional air time as Cleveland doesn’t have a single Prime Time game this year.

But not everybody is focusing on Shedeur’s practice sessions or the shirts he wears or what sports drink...
