Browns NFL Draft: Should ASU OT Max Iheanachor be CLE’s top day 2 target?
The 2026 NFL Draft class is loaded with talent at both offensive tackle and guard, which means the Browns should have lots of excellent options to rebuild in the trenches. Andrew Berry and Co. have to put a lot of stock and thought into this year’s draft class when it comes to the offensive line, […]
Sunday Dawg Chow (2/22): The Scouting Combine is calling
Happy Sunday, and welcome to NFL Scouting Combine week! The annual event will once again take place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, as NFL teams gather information on 319 college players during a series of interviews, medical evaluations, workouts, and drills. There is also time for general managers and head coaches to meet with […]
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 rumor: Top free agent to CLE ‘could heat up,’ ‘keep an eye on’ the Browns
NFL free agency doesn’t officially start until the poorly-nicknamed “legal tampering period” opens on March 9th. No one is fooled by that date, as conversations about free agents and trades started last year during and after the NFL trade deadline. Things will really heat up at the NFL combine next week when dinner and drinks […]
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 […]
Browns history: 14 QBs ranked among top 100 in college football throughout the 2000s
It’s never been a secret that the Cleveland Browns have had quite a few starting quarterbacks over the past 25 years, and they’re still somehow searching for “the guy”. There’s some semblance of hope that Shedeur Sanders can make a huge leap in year two and that he’ll be the team’s savior, but that developmental […]
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: Ohio State S Caleb Downs at 6? Talent over position a possible option
As we enter the NFL off-season with the scouting combine starting soon and NFL free agency starting next month, the Cleveland Browns will focus on building a competitive team in 2026. The roster has a ton of holes that need to be addressed, and how the team goes about addressing them will be intriguing. In […]
Daily Dawg Chow 2/20; could Cleveland work out a trade for AJ Brown?
The latest Cleveland Browns coverage from Dawgs By Nature: More Cleveland Browns news:
Browns NFL free agency: A must have signing for GM Andrew Berry? Weigh in fans
While the NFL draft gets a lot of attention, for good reason, NFL free agency and trades happen first on the NFL offseason calendar and greatly shape what happens for teams in the actual draft. The Cleveland Browns may not be very active in free agency, but face an important offseason nonetheless. The need to […]
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 […]
Suggested Browns trade is fun, but illogical with rumors likely to swirl this offseason
The Cleveland Browns offseason will be very telling about what the front office and ownership expect for the 2026 NFL season. If the Browns are aggressive in addressing their needs in the short term, it will likely mean competing for the AFC North and a playoff spot is expected. If Cleveland is more reserved, as […]
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 […]
Daily Dawg Chow 2/19; Wyatt Teller announces he is not coming back
The latest Cleveland Browns coverage from Dawgs By Nature: More Cleveland Browns news:
Browns free agency: Wyatt Teller joins David Njoku, says goodbye to Cleveland
The list of players that will enter NFL free agency for the Cleveland Browns is long. While TE David Njoku has already announced that he will not return to the Browns, and said goodbye to Cleveland, there is still hope that OL Joel Bitonio and a number of other quality players could return. Cleveland GM […]
Browns NFL draft: Potential key defender for new DC identified
The Cleveland Browns head into the 2026 NFL draft with a few extra draft picks and a few too many needs, especially on the offensive side of the ball. Almost every Browns mock draft will include the team adding multiple offensive linemen, wide receivers, and maybe even a quarterback. NFL free agency and trades could […]
