Cleveland Browns
The Cleveland Browns have not done much winning in recent seasons, at least when it comes to the product on the field.
But off the field? That is a different story, as the franchise is one of four finalists for the ESPY’s Sports Humanitarian Team of the Year Award.
The 12th annual Sports Humanitarian Awards honors “athletes, teams, leagues and members of the sports industry who use the power of sport to make a positive impact on society,” according to a press release from ESPN.
Cleveland is nominated for its work through Browns Give Back to create youth sports infrastructure...

Whether fans are excited or dreading it, the Cleveland Browns will be playing in a dome stadium in 2029, barring any major construction delays. The area around the new stadium is expected to be developed in a way to allow for fans and visitors to enjoy more than just a football game or concert when visiting Northeast Ohio.
Construction has begun at the new stadium site in Brook Park and, as expected, a whole lot of dirt will have to be moved in order to complete the project. The primary reason? The Browns new stadium will have to be built...

The end goal for any football team is to win games, but the process to get there can look different for a variety of reasons. The Cleveland Browns hope to take a huge jump with first-year HC Todd Monken in charge, similar to what the New England Patriots did last season. In year one under Monken, success may not look like wins, however, as there are still huge question marks at the quarterback position.
That Deshaun Watson could win the job over Shedeur Sanders is a clear indicator that the youngster is not in Drake Maye’s category, making a Patriots...

The Cleveland Browns just unveiled their training camp schedule sessions for 2026 that will be open to the public, with the first of those sessions coming on July 31 (see full schedule here). Time will fly by and we’ll be talking about all the juicy practice nuggets before you know it, including a follow-up to our Reacts question from this week.
We asked fans which Browns rookie they were most looking forward to seeing in training camp this year. We kept the options to the team’s four selections from the first two rounds.
Leading the way was second-round WR **Denzel...

The Cleveland Browns unveiled the portion of their 2026 training camp schedule today that will be open to the public. Unlike previous years, they did not unveil the practice schedule that will be closed off to fans, although those dates might still be posted before long.
This year, the Browns’ first practice available to fans begins on Friday, July 31, which is about a week later than last year. In total, there are 9 open practices for fans, which is up from the 8 practices open to fans in 2025. The final practice open to fans is on Wednesday, August...

You’ve heard of All-Pro or All-Rookie teams before, but Pro Football Focus is taking it a step further and making an All-Undrafted team at the NFL level. The Cleveland Browns have had their fair share of gems as undrafted free agents over the years, as my mind thinks of the likes of Josh Cribbs, Taylor Gabriel, and Tashaun Gipson. But who in the modern era fits that bill?
The answer is safety Ronnie Hickman. PFF listed Hickman, along with the Texans’ Reed Blankenship, were the two starting safeties represented. PFF noted the contrasts between the two players, [highlighting Hickman’s ascent...

For the (seems like) 10 to 15th time, the Cleveland Browns offseason has been given a positive overall evaluation from a national outlet. The big stories for the Browns were the trade of DE Myles Garrett, the departure of a number of long-tenured veterans, and another very good NFL draft process.
Cleveland has been seen as making a number of “smart” moves, including remaking the offensive line with LT Spencer Fano as the new foundational piece. The start of the offseason moves included hiring Todd Monken as the team’s 23rd head coach and the departure of DC Jim Schwartz.
Trades,...

The Cleveland Browns have had their fair share of exceptional players since their maiden season of 1946. The franchise has won eight Pro Football Championships over the course of the team’s history, tied for the third most with the New York Football Giants.
Teams don’t win championships without good offensive lines that come complete with exceptional athletes paid to clear paths for runners and competent pass protection.
OL Joel Bitonio served the Browns’ offense for 12 years and was named Captain for half his tenure in Cleveland. Seven Pro Bowls, twice voted First Team All-Pro, selected Second Team All-Pro three...

The Cleveland Browns were building something heading into 1986.
Fresh off their first division title since 1980, the Browns were building an offense that, with the addition of wide receiver Webster and offensive coordinator Lindy Infante, was about to make a leap into one of the league’s best units.
The defense was an underappreciated unit that was coming into its own after allowing just 18.4 points per game in 1985. The unit was anchored by nose tackle Bob Golic, defensive ends Reggie Camp and Carl Hairston, and linebackers Clay Matthews, Eddie Johnson, and Chip Banks.
As talented as the front...

The Cleveland Browns will enter the 2026 season without David Njoku in the tight end room for the first time since 2016, and it’s an odd feeling. Though the floor of the room seems a bit shakier without the “Chief” in it, it could end up being a more solid overall unit going forward.
As everyone in the league knows, Harold Fannin Jr. is already a star who’s a threat to score whenever he touches the football, consistently turning plays meant to gain 5-6 yards into chunks of 15+. His elite playmaking skills have begun to garner consistent praise from...
