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 […]

One simple way Browns HC Todd Monken devises such a dominant run game

Everyone already knows that Todd Monken loves to run the football and that he’s been insanely effective at it. What most people overlook is how he’s able to be so consistently good at it. It’s not because he ”always has great running backs”, though that’s probably a part of it, but it’s due to how […]

Browns roster: An unlikely standout has emerged on defense throughout OTAs

Heading into OTAs, fans were incredibly interested to see how the defensive backfield looks with the additions of S Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, S Daniel Thomas, and even the “underrated” UDFA cornerback from West Virginia, Michael Coats Jr. Despite expectations, CB Myles Bryant has emerged as the standout amongst the team’s newly added defensive backs, drawing attention […]

Meet Up! Aaron Anderson is the new Browns receiver. Who is he?

The Cleveland Browns’ receiver room was atrocious last year. Ranked #31 to be exact. And during the offseason, Cleveland GM Andrew Berry made it his mission to change this. Veteran Jerry Jeudy is entering his final year of the three-year contract he signed when the Browns traded for him back in 2024. However, that is […]

More Myles Garrett, Browns smoke? Just the offseason? Hard to tell, but notable

In general, we really don’t know what is going on with DE Myles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns. It is possible, maybe even likely, that everything is fine and Garrett is just enjoying the offseason away from the team with his girlfriend, Olympian Chloe Kim. At the same time, there is at least some possibility […]

Browns roster: Most competitive position battle

Several position groups on the Cleveland Browns will feature interesting competitions this summer as the coaching staff and front office evaluate how to build the strongest roster possible. The roster battles will look a little different this year with head coach Todd Monken leading the team. He may have a completely different vision for this team, which could influence some […]
