Cleveland Browns
The Cleveland Browns organization has a long, storied history with many legends who have left a major impact. Browns fans have their favorite players from so many different eras of this team. When it comes to the Browns’ most loved players since the franchise returned in 1999, it would be difficult to decide which of these three legends to start, bench, and cut: Myles Garrett, Nick Chubb, and Joe Thomas.
Start: Joe Thomas
Thomas’ consistency throughout the course of his Hall of Fame career earns him a starting role in this competition. He played 10,363 consecutive snaps in Cleveland and...

Jerry Glanville, who coached in the NFL for 19 years, including head coaching stints with the Houston Oilers and Atlanta Falcons, famously pointed out that the NFL stands for “not for long” when arguing with a referee during a game.
While Glanville was referring to a potentially short career for the referee if he continued to make what Glanville considered to be bad calls, it is a statement that has long held for players in a profession where the average career spans just a little more than three years.
Three years also happens to be the timeframe until the Cleveland...

With the United States celebrating our 250th anniversary, July 4th has a little extra meaning in 2026. For Cleveland Browns fans, that means boats, hiking, grilling, and, of course, fireworks. Whether the Browns have fireworks on the field this season could depend on a lot of things, like their offensive “X-Factor,” their ability to run the ball, the rookies having an impact, and talented players taking the next step.
This article is only loosley tied to Cleveland’s football team, but sometimes things just fall in your lap that are so interesting that you have to share with as many people...

The Cleveland Browns have expectations of not being one of the league’s worst clubs for a second consecutive year. GM Andrew Berry worked overtime this offseason to address the weak spots and bring in new players to replace those who weren’t getting it done.
Training camp is approaching, and the air will be very clear on the final 53-man roster and who is in and who is out. The focus will then be on which players will fit best at all positions.

As the Cleveland Browns roster changes, a handful of young players have a real chance to step up, earn bigger roles, and take their game to the next level. Some may even have the opportunity to lock in their first season as an All-Pro. A few players stand out above the rest.
Jared Verse
With Myles Garrett gone, Verse will have a massive opportunity to join the Browns’ defense. He is likely to be the star of Cleveland’s pass rush. If he continues performing at the level he did during his first two seasons in Los Angeles, it would not...

Got into the car after work yesterday, and the thermometer showed it was 102 degrees.
We’re getting older, but we don’t remember moving to Arizona.
Stay safe out there!

In a league known as a “head coach, offensive play caller, and quarterback” driven one, the Cleveland Browns have question marks at the most important spots. That doesn’t mean that HC Todd Monken, who is also the offensive play caller, and whoever starts at quarterback between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders won’t be good in their roles, just that no one can be certain about that.
There is a reason we would encourage Monken to call a lot of run plays, which could help RB Quinshon Judkins enter the Top 100 running back discussion by the time he retires. There...

July is here, and we’re gearing up for Cleveland Browns training camp by shifting our attention to the defensive side of the ball for a second. DE Myles Garrett was traded away to the Los Angeles Rams last month, and losing the two-time Defensive Player of the Year creates an opportunity for a new leader to step up.
With Garrett, he...

The Cleveland Browns offseason has been lauded over and over again, despite trading away star DE Myles Garrett and still having a big question at the quarterback position. The reasons for the positivity vary slightly, but the Browns bold decisions to set a course based on young players and future draft picks, while rebuilding the offensive line and wide receiver groups, seem solid.
As always, not everything works out in the NFL. Most draft picks are coin flips, injuries can play a huge role, HC Todd Monken is a first-time NFL HC, and there is that pesky question at quarterback...

Sometimes, timing just works out perfectly. On Tuesday, we suggested that Cleveland Browns HC Todd Monken should make it the team’s goal to lead the NFL in rushing attempts. If they are able to do so, or come close, that would mean the team is running the ball with some success, sustaining drives, minimizing responsibility for the quarterback(s), and giving the defense time to rest.
Adding a quality QB run game to a group of talented young backs could allow the Browns to be successful in that goal and, in turn, win more contests.
A good rushing attack has been...
