Browns restructure another deal, adds $99 million void year
For many football fans, the nuances of the salary cap are boring or overwhelming.

While Jerry Jones wrongfully says ‘we all have […]
Browns Ronnie Hickman: Options, next steps after 2nd-round tender limits free agency
The train you hear barreling down the track of the NFL offseason is the start of the league year with legal tampering and NFL free agency.

Saturday Dawg Chow (3/7): Free agency looms on the horizon

Browns restructure Deshaun Watson’s contract again, add a lot of salary cap space
Whether you want to say that the NFL salary cap isn’t real or that teams just kick the can down the road more or, like Cleveland Browns GM Andrew Berry does, that the salary cap is just an accounting tool, the Browns are always active in making moves around their cap. The contract given to […]
Browns Free Agency: S Jalen Thompson could step up in new defense
The Cleveland Browns had the #4 defense last year. However, the number of free agents on their list that they could lose is a sad sight.

Would the Browns turn to a familiar OT in free agency?
Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry took the first step in rebuilding the team’s offensive line this week with the trade for offensive tackle Tytus Howard.

New Browns DC: ‘It’s about building relationships’
Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator Mike Rutenberg may have the biggest shoes to fill of anyone associated with the franchise.

However, […]
Browns star Myles Garrett pulled over again for speeding, reportedly his 9th citation

Browns roster: After Tytus Howard trade, CLE should look to add 3 types of players
There is little doubt that the Cleveland Browns roster needs help, especially on the offensive side of the ball.

On […]

Browns NFL draft: Best case scenario with 2 picks in 1st round
There is a lot of speculation that the Cleveland Browns could trade down in this year’s draft.
