Myles Garrett trade speculation continues nationally

As the Myles Garrett trade rumors continue to linger, Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated is now adding his own speculation from a national level on possibilities surrounding the reigning defensive MVP of the league: I wouldn’t rule anything out.

Browns 2026 90-man roster: Who is left, gone from 2025’s initial 53-man?

With the first official week of summer upon us, the Cleveland Browns have a few days off until the next step in their offseason program. The big date on the calendar, besides “post June 1st,” is the mandatory minicamp. Now has been a good time to take different looks at the Browns roster: We even […]

Browns may have another QB to consider this summer

Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken has the unenviable task of selecting a starting quarterback this summer from a room of rather unqualified candidates.  Veteran Deshaun Watson’s last good season came in 2020, second-year quarterbacks Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders are coming off the worst rookie seasons the league has seen in 25 years, and […]

Browns: ESPN analyst taps best, worst moves of the offseason

Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry has received predominantly positive remarks for the work he accomplished this offseason. From rebuilding an aging and injured offensive line, highlighted by first-round selection Spencer Fano, to adding some much-needed help at wide receiver in KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston, the offense looks to be moving in a better […]

Kenny Atkinson tries to take a page out of the Browns’ book with analytics, and it didn’t go over well

We’ve heard plenty of stories about the Cleveland Browns and analytics over the years, especially when Paul DePodesta first came around. DePodesta departed this offseason to go back to Major League Baseball, but present day, analytics is more widely accepted as a standard across the NFL. One thing you typically don’t see, though, is using […]

Browns roster: 28 players locked into spots on the 53-man

With mandatory minicamp a few weeks away, the Cleveland Browns roster is looking more solid after a couple of nice NFL draft classes. There are still a lot of questions at the quarterback position, but a revamped offensive line and weapon group give a lot of hope that the Browns will win more games than […]

What new OG Zion Johnson can do for the Browns OLine

The lineup along the offensive line on opening day of 2025 was one player short of the same group who were ranked #3 in the league in 2023: RT Jack Conklin, RG Wyatt Teller, C Ethan Pocic, LG Joel Bitonio, and LT Dawand Jones. The only difference was that OT Jed Wills was playing left […]

‘Really strong foundation’: CBS analyst praises the Browns’ 2026 offseason

Despite not landing any “heavy hitters” in free agency this year besides interior offensive linemen Elgton Jenkins and Zion Johnson, the Browns have received copious amounts of praise for how they navigated the offseason so far. Most recently, Tyler Sullivan of CBS Sports made sure to point out Cleveland’s lingering quarterback issue but emphasized what […]

Browns rookie QB Taylen Green could be a hidden gem in a full QB room

The Cleveland Browns quarterback room is crowded and filled with more questions than actual answers. Quarterback Deshaun Watson is trying to revive what’s left of his career, while Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel are both fighting for a chance to start while potentially trying to keep their career arcs intact. Meanwhile, a rookie from Arkansas […]

Expectations for Browns in 2026 are too low

The Cleveland Browns have seen a ton of changes since the end of the 2025 NFL season. Out is Kevin Stefanski, in as the new head coach is Todd Monken. Long-term veterans like Wyatt Teller and David Njoku have found new teams, while Joel Bitonio ponders retirement. Free agency saw a new offensive line coming […]

Q&A with Behind the Steel Curtain on Pittsburgh’s rookie class

The Pittsburgh Steelers had what was, for them, a standard season in 2025. The team won just enough games to run Mike Tomlin’s streak of seasons without a losing record to 19 en route to the playoffs.  But as has also become the norm, the Steelers were one-and-done in the playoffs for the sixth consecutive […]

Browns roster: Why C Parker Brailsford will be successful early on in 2026

The Cleveland Browns drafted Alabama C Parker Brailsford in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, and there were two very good reasons why they chose him instead of someone like Kentucky’s Jager Burton or Duke’s Brian Parker II. He’s astronomically athletic, and he’s a perfect fit for Monken’s offensive system. His 116” broad […]
