Cleveland Browns
Nothing is simple in the world of sports, and the Cleveland Browns have been a strong example of chaos since The Return in 1999. Browns majority owner, Jimmy Haslam, who also owns the Columbus Crew and part of the Milwaukee Bucks, hasn’t steadied the ship since he took over in 2012.
Even in the ownership suite, uncertainty has reared its head. Last year, Charles Woodson was announced as having bought a minority share of the team in Cleveland, only to back out due to his desire to build his alcohol brand.
Recently, the NFL approved the ability for private equity...

Around this time last offseason, the hope was that WR Cedric Tillman would build off of good games from the 2024 season and stay healthy for the Cleveland Browns. Instead, the former third-round pick played in 13 games, tied a career low with 21 receptions, and had just 270 yards and two touchdowns. Some of that was due to poor quarterback and offensive line play, but Tillman was only targeted 39 times, a low in his three-year career.
Since that article in June last year, the Browns have also added WR Isaiah Bond ([a unique UDFA due to off-the-field issues...

With the Cleveland Browns returning to the field for OTAs on Tuesday, the excitement around the 2026 NFL draft class is starting to settle in. All the positive grades now have to become performance on the field, or it is just another offseason of hype without getting the actual job done.
The Browns selections of WRs KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston have been uniquely exciting for fans. The idea of having not one but two dynamic receivers is something of a dream, last had when the team paired Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Jr. together. Those dreams became a disappointing...

The Cleveland Browns are always entertaining during training camp, but this summer should be particularly interesting.
Offensive line coach George Warhop will be working to get up to five new starters, headlined by first-round draft pick Spencer Fano, up to speed before the start of the regular season.
Wide receivers coach Christian Jones will be doing the same with rookies KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston, while also working on the potential of second-year player Isaiah Bond to help take some of the pressure off erratic veteran Jerry Jeudy.
Finally, head coach Todd Monken and offensive coordinator Travis Switzer have to...

For the Cleveland Browns, HC Todd Monken and QB Deshaun Watson may have hit the ground running, rookie WR Denzel Boston might run similar routes to WR Justin Jefferson, and the Browns may have done a really good job overall in the offseason, but that doesn’t mean expectations should be high. While Cleveland may enter their bye week with a winning record, they are already a strong underdog for Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
A few games on the schedule changed difficulty based on the order things were laid out, with the Browns having [some interesting quarterbacks ahead in...

The grades are in, and Cleveland Browns GM Andrew Berry aced the 2026 NFL draft after putting out a great class in 2025. Not every issue was solved this offseason, but Berry gave HC Todd Monken a whole new offensive line and, for the first time in the Browns history, two early receivers were selected.
The two rookie receivers have fans excited, with KC Concepcion the more dynamic playmaker and Denzel Boston the bigger, sure-handed outside and redzone threat. Cleveland still needs to have competent quarterback play for the young pass catchers to succeed in the NFL, but production is...

In general, the Cleveland Browns offseason has been given very good grades. It has not been perfect, starting with an interesting process during the head coaching search that ended with Todd Monken getting his first chance to lead a team at the NFL level.
For the roster, veteran additions all over the offensive line really highlighted the free agent period, while GM Andrew Berry’s 2026 NFL draft class has been lauded, after a very successful group coming out of the 2025 NFL draft.
The quarterback question continues to linger, with Deshaun Watson seemingly taking the lead while having a [good...

As the Cleveland Browns prepare to set sail with their next set of offseason activities on Tuesday, everything is in front of them now that the preseason and regular season schedules have been released. Whether it is the report that QB Deshaun Watson has taken the lead over QB Shedeur Sanders, or our list of nine young quarterbacks Browns fans should be rooting for this season, the QB position will once again take center stage.
With new HC Todd Monken bringing in his system and GM Andrew Berry adding talent to the offense, Watson and Sanders have a chance to...

For the Cleveland Browns, the NFL draft has been a minefield of problems. Just in this century, there are clear arguments about which are the worst selections that the team has made. The Browns have made some great picks, including OT Joe Thomas and DE Myles Garrett.
One “could have been” scenario in Cleveland draft history is QB Eli Manning. There have been stories about the then-Browns coach Butch Davis trying to work with Erni Accorsi to move up to the fourth pick, with a shot at moving that selection to acquire Manning. There were a lot of QBs involved...

The Cleveland Browns 2026 schedule is out, and there continues to be a lot to dissect. The early schedule includes a loaded road schedule, which could be daunting, but a winning record heading into the bye week is possible. Cleveland is a big underdog heading into their Week 1 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars, with a few games on the schedule easier, and a few harder, based on how the lineup shook out.
As always, the quarterback position will get an outsized amount of attention. Browns fans may be rooting for a few young ones this year, including on their...
