Browns: Sad news about the career of this talented LB

Cleveland Browns linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah has been sidelined since the middle of the 2024 season after suffering a neck injury against the Baltimore Ravens. While obviously scary, there was hope that JOK would make it back to the field for the 2025 season and regain the form that sent him to the Pro Bowl in […]

The Browns, money, and the strange geography of NFL stadiums

Teams in the NFL can often have a strange relationship with geography when it comes to where they play their home games. The Dallas Cowboys, for example, have not actually played in Dallas since leaving the Cotton Bowl in 1970. The San Francisco 49ers play their home games at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., […]

Browns free agency: Newly available LB a veteran option for Cleveland?

There was a time when the Cleveland Browns’ linebacker room was quite full. That is no longer the case. While Carson Schwesinger had a terrific year and has provided stability and a reliable tackler, along with league awards, the other positions are currently in flux. And as the free agency period approaches on March 9, […]

3 free agents the Browns should pursue in NFL free agency

The Cleveland Browns have a real opportunity to fill in some major roster holes through free agency this offseason. They have several possible paths to consider, but focusing on their biggest areas of need in free agency will be crucial to positioning themselves for success in the draft. GM Andrew Berry historically does not like […]

Browns NFL Draft: Miami’s Keionte Scott could be Rutenburg’s prized slot corner

Cleveland’s new defensive coordinator, Mike Rutenberg, is known for a few things, and one of them is his gravitation towards relying heavily on his slot cornerbacks in multiple ways. The “Einstein of the secondary” has always been able to find above-average athletes to play nickel for him, and there’s a player in this year’s class […]

Saturday Dawg Chow (2/21): Counting down the days to the NFL Combine

Happy Saturday, everyone, and hope you are enjoying the final quiet days of the NFL calendar. It was a bit of a lazy week in Browns Town, although head coach Todd Monken did hire Mike Rutenberg as defensive coordinator, along with making a few other reported hires official. Sadly, the week also brought news that […]

Browns make multiple coaching hires official

Things are starting to come together for HC Todd Monken’s Cleveland Browns coaching staff, just days away from the NFL combine kicking off. There has been a lot of reporting about who will be joining Monken in his first-ever head coaching gig, including a number of former Baltimore Ravens coaches. On Friday, the Browns made […]

Browns coaching staff: DC Mike Rutenberg promotes 2 coaches

With the NFL combine kicking off early next week (This staff member will be there and is seeking your questions in The Feed), the Cleveland Browns are slowly putting their defensive staff together, even if they have not made any of the decisions official. New HC Todd Monken has chosen Mike Rutenberg as the team’s […]

Browns history: When injury derails a career

Football is a violent game, a collision sport full of athletes who are getting bigger, stronger, and faster, with protective equipment only able to do so much. For teams, like the Cleveland Browns, injury luck (or lack thereof) is one of many variables that can dramatically impact the outcome of a game, a season, or […]

New Browns DC Mike Rutenberg: Everything you need to know

The Cleveland Browns have a new defensive coordinator. That was one of the last pieces of the puzzle. The new head coach, Todd Monken, had several names on his list for the position. That was shortened down to about four names. When Monken was hired, he held a press conference. In that presser, a reporter […]

Browns NFL draft: Huge OT ‘has the highest upside of any OT in this class’

The need for the Cleveland Browns starts, and basically ends, on the offensive side of the ball. Could the defense use a third starting cornerback? Sure. Could special teams improve in a variety of ways, including a great returner? Certainly. Would any of that matter if the Browns offense continues to be terrible? Obviously not. […]

Browns promote CB coach to a higher position

Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken went “outside the family” to hire Mike Rutenberg as the team’s defensive coordinator. While Monken’s offensive coaching staff has seen almost a complete turnover, save for wide receivers coach Christian Jones and running backs coach Duce Staley, the situation has been somewhat quiet on the defensive side of the […]

Browns DE Myles Garrett sets his next goal

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett further stated his case as one of the game’s best in 2025. When Garrett brought down Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow in the season finale, it established a new standard for sacks in a single season with 23. Other notable achievements in Garrett’s nine seasons: Garrett’s record-breaking season earned […]

Browns Free Agency: CB Trevon Diggs could be a big swing

There is a saying in the NFL: You can never have too many great cornerbacks. The Cleveland Browns have Denzel Ward, Tyson Campbell, and Myles Harden at cornerback. Are they good there? Do they need another guy? Is M.J. Emerson going to return? Will GM Andrew Berry re-sign Emerson or allow him to walk in […]
