What comes first: New stadium or Browns win the AFC North?

Since the AFC North was formed in 2002, the Cleveland Browns have not won a division title. The last time they won a division title was in 1989 when they were in the AFC Central. The AFC North has always been extremely competitive, with one or multiple teams being true Super Bowl contenders every season. During the […]

Daily Dawg Chow (6/18): How ‘bout that World Cup?

It has gotten quiet in town now that the Cleveland Browns are on summer holiday, so hopefully everyone has taken the opportunity to check out the World Cup. Wednesday night marked the end of the first week of games, meaning every team has played once. And there have been plenty of fun stories to follow: […]

Browns history: TE Gary Barnidge shares what he’s been up to since retirement

The ranking of tight ends is a tricky position. These players are receivers, but are expected to snag passes. They aren’t offensive linemen, but they have to block along the line to assist the running game. Often referred to as “skinny offensive line”, tight ends are either occasionally utilized in the game plan in 11 […]

Brendan Sorsby’s NFL Supplemental Draft entry should be win-win for Browns

Just when you think everything is sorted out with QB Brendan Sorsby, the former Indiana-Cincinnati-Texas Tech (sort of) quarterback reverses course in an attempt to enter the NFL’s Supplemental Draft process. Given the wild turns in the situation, it is entirely possible that the league denies his entry and everything gets thrown back up in […]

Brendan Sorsby, Supplemental draft order: Browns spot, use Rams pick?

The tangled web of the Brendan Sorsby process has left a sour taste in the mouths of many Cleveland Browns fans, for a wide variety of reasons. In many ways, fans were relieved when it seemed like a judge had put the possibility of Sorsby and an NFL Supplemental Draft to bed last week. We […]

Browns may ‘find a job’ for this somewhat forgotten O-lineman

Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry put in some heavy lifting during the offseason to fix the offensive line. The 2026 NFL Draft brought in Spencer Fano, the presumptive starter at left tackle, Austin Barber, a versatile player with a nice amount of upside, and Parker Brailsford, who the Browns will give ample opportunity to […]

Browns QB battle could impact other key starting roster decision

In many ways, the Cleveland Browns roster is lacking a lot of battles for starting positions, outside of the key quarterback spot. The defense seems set with at least 10 of the 11 starters, with only the slot corner or third linebacker spot up for grabs. On offense, at least one of the rookie receivers […]

Browns HC Todd Monken has no plan to take it easy on veterans

In many ways, the Cleveland Browns could not have gone in a more opposite direction when they hired Todd Monken to replace Kevin Stefanski as the team’s head coach. From young to old. From soft spoken to ‘tells it like it is.’ Both are offense-minded, but that might be where the comparisons end. Monken is […]

Bears reportedly signing former Browns, UFL standout

Now that the United Football League (UFL) season has concluded with the United Bowl played on Saturday, June 13, all player contracts become null and void because every contract is for a one-year duration. This is done on purpose, as well as the timing of the end of the UFL season, so that their players […]

Browns trio of young WRs continues to show promise

The Cleveland Browns have a long and productive history at the wide receiver position.  From their first season in 1946, when Dante Lavelli averaged 21.1 yards per reception, through Gary Collins and Paul Warfield in the 1960s, Reggie Rucker and Dave Logan in the 1970s, Webster Slaughter, Reggie Langhorne, and Brian Brennan in the 1980s, […]

Browns legends Myles Garrett, Joe Thomas see careers diverge

Last week, the Cleveland Browns made a difficult decision to trade the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Myles Garrett, to the Los Angeles Rams. It was an unexpected decision but the right decision considering Cleveland’s and Garrett’s timelines do not co-exist with one another. Garrett requested a trade last season but chose to re-sign […]

Browns fans are game for a quarterback battle in training camp

With the Cleveland Browns having their mandatory minicamp earlier this week, the biggest decision for head coach Todd Monken this season is who his starting quarterback will be for the 2026 season. The decision could certainly impact the team’s odds of having a positive win-loss record during the season, but on the same note, the […]

Todd Monken’s truest quote about Browns ongoing QB battle

The Cleveland Browns wrapped up their final minicamp of the offseason this week and headed off into the summer break. Everyone will return to Berea in late July for the first training camp under head coach Todd Monken, who will spend the next five weeks or so pondering the most unenviable question that a head […]

Browns history: Ranking Joel Bitonio among the team’s greats on the OLine

With the recent retirement of Cleveland Browns guard Joel Bitonio, it’s interesting to look back and see where he ranks in comparison to other offensive linemen from the Browns’ past. For much of Cleveland’s history, the team has built a reputation for strong, reliable offensive line play, producing many great players who have worn the uniform over […]
