A Cleveland Browns blog
The Cleveland Browns did the unthinkable this week: Trade the face of the franchise when they shipped off pass rusher Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams. The deal included three draft picks plus DE Jared Verse. Verse is a good player. He isn’t Garrett, but he is three years younger and has accolades of […]
Dawgs By Nature The Feed The Browns do have quarterbacks on the roster, and one or more are likely going to start this fall. So … sure? Cleveland Browns NFL
As Barry Shuck noted in DE Jared Verse’s profile, the new Cleveland Browns defender will be forever compared to former Browns superstar Myles Garrett. In so many ways, that comparison is unfair to Verse, as Garrett was considered and became a generational player whose value in the trade was Verse and three NFL draft picks, […]
The Cleveland Browns will enter a new era this fall with first-time head coach Todd Monken and new defensive coordinator Mike Rutenberg. It is not just the sidelines where change has occurred, as there will also be several new players from a promising rookie class led by offensive tackle Spencer Fano, to a rebuilt offensive […]
Over the last two years, the Cleveland Browns roster has been remade. A very good 2025 NFL draft class was followed by what has been graded as the best class in the 2026 draft. The Browns have also seen long-standing veterans, like TE David Njoku, OL Wyatt Teller, and (likely) OL Joel Bitonio, depart. The […]
The Cleveland Browns trade of DE Myles Garrett will be discussed for years and maybe decades to come. That will be true for the Browns, but, depending on how things go on the field, it could also be true for the Los Angeles Rams and the NFL as a whole. As of now, Cleveland received […]
Dawgs By Nature The Feed Hmm … Cleveland Browns NFL
The Cleveland Browns entered the 2026 offseason in search of a new head coach for the first time since 2020 after moving on from Kevin Stefanski after six seasons, two playoff appearances, and a pair of NFL Coach of the Year trophies. General manager Andrew Berry interviewed 10 candidates, ranging from the young (30-year-old Grant […]
We are about 24 hours after the huge trade that sent Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams. In return, Browns GM Andrew Berry received DE Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 second-round pick, and a 2029 third-round pick. In terms of blockbuster trades, the Garrett trade was unusual in […]
The Cleveland Browns made defensive end Myles Garrett the No. 1 overall selection in the 2017 NFL Draft. There has been a bit of revisionist history over the years that the team deserves no credit for making “the obvious choice,” when the reality is that far too many were pounding the table to select quarterback […]
Who was the coach who followed Bear Bryant at Alabama? What about the guy who was named the starting quarterback after Joe Namath with the New York Jets? Who was named head coach in Green Bay after Vince Lombardi left? Who followed Tom Brady as the starting QB when he moved on? One thing we […]
The Cleveland Browns made a franchise-altering move when they decided to trade Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams. Garrett is a future Hall of Famer and has been the best defender on the team since he was drafted in 2017. Given the current state of the roster, the team felt this was the right time to […]
Dawgs By Nature The Feed What say you? Did the big-city guys from LA pull one over on the Browns? Or did Berry do right by the franchise? Cleveland Browns NFL
Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry wasted little time in trading defensive end Myles Garrett once the calendar turned to June 1, making a move financially more prudent for the Browns. In exchange for Garrett, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, the franchise’s all-time sack leader, and a player that opposing offenses often had […]
What started with the Cleveland Browns selecting DE Myles Garrett with the first pick in the 2017 NFL draft has ended with the team trading its star to the Los Angeles Rams. The book isn’t completely closed on Garrett as the Browns acquired draft picks until 2029 as part of dealing away the single-season sack […]
In the NFL, if you are covering today’s news without quickly pivoting to what it means for tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year, you are way behind. The Cleveland Browns have officially traded DE Myles Garrett in exchange for DE Jared Verse and multiple draft picks. Looking ahead, the Browns have 11 selections […]
Back in February 2025, I wrote a column pondering whether the Cleveland Browns should give in to the trade request that Myles Garrett put forth at the time. Cleveland somehow got past Garrett’s request at the time through another beefed up contract. By doing so, it seemed like Garrett was willing to sacrifice the ultimatum […]
In a little over a calendar year, Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett requested a trade, signed a contract extension, broke the single-season sack record, adjusted his contract in a way that allowed for a trade, and was traded to the Los Angeles Rams. For the Browns, the future is the focus, including talented NFL draft […]
The Cleveland Browns may be rebuilding after the trade of DE Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams, but fans are hopeful that a full teardown is not on the horizon. In reality, the Browns roster is already full of players on rookie deals with a lot of upside before any return from the Garrett […]
Following the 2026 NFL draft, Cleveland Browns fans were excited about the team’s young core adding a number of players at important positions, adding to a successful 2025 NFL draft class. At that time, only four veterans on the Browns roster cost more than $10 million against the salary cap, including QB Deshaun Watson, whom […]
The rumors are no longer rumors, as now there are reports that the Cleveland Browns are trading DE Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams. The Browns-Rams rumor picked up steam Sunday night and into Monday morning with news breaking early Monday afternoon. While the Philadelphia Eagles were often connected to a Garrett deal, Cleveland […]
There are a number of key dates on the NFL calendar, which now basically stretches the entire year despite having the shortest regular season of the major sports in the United States. Cleveland Browns fans, who are often looking forward to what might be in the offseason, generally have a list of them handy someplace […]
When the Cleveland Browns hired Todd Monken as their next head coach, they brought in a guy who has transformed every offensive unit he has been hired to run. At Oklahoma State, the offense went from #88 to #11. While at LSU, a #42 ranking became a #9 ranking. Southern Miss? #112 to #13. At […]
As June kicks off, the Cleveland Browns will start mandatory minicamp before going on summer break. Mandatory minicamp is different; players are required to be there unless they have an excused absence. In the Browns case, every player is likely to be there, but all eyes remain on a certain player. Star defensive end and […]
Happy June, everyone! (Oh my gosh, how is it already June?) This is another big month for the Cleveland Browns, as head coach Todd Monken will hold the final session of voluntary OTAs starting on Tuesday and running through Friday. Then comes the big one – MANDATORY minicamp – which takes place June 9 to […]
