A Cleveland Browns blog
The Cleveland Browns needed some inside defensive line help after the 2025 season had concluded. There were some answers already in place, but also some question marks. What didn’t need to be solved was rookie DT Mason Graham’s (6’-4”, 315 pounds) season. He came as advertised after being selected fifth overall in last year’s NFL […]
There is a bit of a lull across the NFL as teams embark on the second week of free agency. The big-money moves have all pretty much been completed, so teams are now looking for bargains. Perhaps it is a veteran looking for one more contract. Or an injured player willing to sign a one-year […]
As NFL free agency and the 2026 league year was beginning earlier this week, compensatory picks were unveiled, of which the Cleveland Browns did not have any. From 1994-2025, the Browns have a league-low 14 compensatory picks. Granted, Cleveland missed a year years as a franchise during that span, but those years wouldn’t have made […]
The Cleveland Browns have made the bulk of their expected moves in free agency, and our NFL Reacts poll this past week asked fans to grade the team’s first two reported signings. Let’s start with OG Zion Johnson, formerly of the Los Angeles Chargers. 56% of fans graded the signing as a B, with 24% […]
Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry had some key decisions to make regarding the guard position entering free agency.

While the Browns like guard Teven Jenkins […]
Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry entered free agency needing to figure out what to do at the center position. Ethan Pocic, who held down the position for the past four seasons, is a free agent while also recovering from a torn Achilles that ended his 2025 season after 13 games. Luke Wypler finished out […]
Andrew Berry and Co. have been killing it in free agency so far, adding four potential starters along the offensive line heading into 2026. Though the offensive line is almost complete, they still need to find their starting left tackle within the next month or so. Despite there being some stopgap-type players who could potentially […]
The dominoes continue to fall in NFL free agency, and the Cleveland Browns have their first departure on the offensive side of the ball. So far, just two defenders had departed the Browns 2025 roster: Cleveland had spent most of free agency improving the offensive side of the ball, particularly the offensive line. The Browns […]
The Cleveland Browns officially signed former San Francisco 49ers DT Kalia Davis to a 1-year, $3M deal yesterday in an effort to effectively replace Shelby Harris on the interior of new DC Mike Rutenberg’s defense in 2026. Davis, a 6th-round draft pick in 2022, has been an important piece to the 49ers’ run defense over […]
While the opening of NFL free agency gets all the highlights and excitement, most of the time, the early signings are ones where teams have to overpay a bit. That could be true for the Cleveland Browns, but their offensive line needs were just that big. The new group is ready for the challenge of […]
Welcome to the weekend, Browns fans! And Happy National Pi Day to all who celebrate!

Berry kicked things off with the trade for veteran offensive tackle Tytus Howard, before turning to free agency to sign center/guard Elgton […]
When Cleveland Browns GM Andrew Berry talks about the NFL’s salary cap, it sounds much different than how fans and media have covered it for decades. While the general thought has been that the salary cap is finite, Berry has talked about the flexibility of the cap as just an accounting tool. The continued hike […]
The legal tampering period of NFL free agency kicked off this past Monday, and the news surrounding the Cleveland Browns were fast and furious, with those moves then being confirmed when the official league year began at 4:00 PM ET on Wednesday. There are still moves to be made — likely on the lower end […]
When an NFL franchise loses 26 games in the past two seasons, it obviously has plenty of problems and holes to fill. Thank goodness the Cleveland Browns have free agency. Next month, the NFL draft will take care of the issues GM Andrew Berry did not fill. Wednesday began the NFL league year. All contracts […]
The Cleveland Browns have not necessarily made any big, flashy free agent signings thus far; however, they have made some important moves to improve the roster. Given how unhealthy the offensive line was last year, there is no doubt that if all the new additions are healthy, the 2026 line will be an upgrade. What […]

Back in 2020, after Andrew Berry was hired as the GM of the Cleveland Browns, he set out to revamp the offensive line and the defensive backfield.

The Cleveland Browns have lost 26 games in the past two seasons. With that many losses, of course, the team fired its head coach and had a ton of holes to fill. Free agency is always a good starting spot because of the veteran presence, and then fill in the remaining void in April’s NFL […]

At the start of the league year, the Browns officially tendered S Ronnie Hickman, reportedly with the second round level, let OL […]
The NFL schedule might seem like a strange one to the outside world. Tell anyone somewhat interested in the NFL that NFL free agency just opened officially on Wednesday afternoon, and they’d tell you that you were two days late to the party. The legal tampering period that opened on Monday gave us a lot […]
