Trading draft picks, especially during the NFL draft, is a lot of fun for fans
The NFL draft is fun for most fans. While teams are focused on planning for the future, fans get to hope for immediate results, get to ask a lot of “what if?” questions and get to be surprised, mostly, with the results.
Trades, especially during the draft, make it all the more exciting.
For the Cleveland Browns and their fans, the NFL draft...

Cleveland appears set at quarterback, but would they take a risk on a raw talent with a big arm?
The Cleveland Browns have a clear pecking order at the quarterback position after doing some work in free agency.
Deshaun Watson is the unquestioned starter. If Watson were to get hurt, Jameis Winston is there to step in, unless he gets traded at the end of training camp to a desperate team, in which case Tyler Huntley is around. Dorian Thompson-Robinson,...

Amari Cooper was acquired as a salary dump, now could see an extension
When the Cleveland Browns acquired WR Amari Cooper from the Dallas Cowboys, Cooper was seen as a salary dump of sorts. At one point, Dallas was reportedly thinking about cutting the talented receiver but the Browns, along with other teams, shared their interest in making a deal for him.
Cleveland acquired Cooper for the cost of a fifth-round pick (and sixth-round pick swap) in the...
If 2023 taught the Cleveland Browns anything, it was that you can never have enough quarterbacks. The Browns started five quarterbacks in 2023 and have four signed to the roster right now.

The signing of Nyheim Hines gains extra value with the new NFL Kickoff structure
The Cleveland Browns signed running back Nyheim Hines early on in the free agency period, and his value as a kick returner has skyrocketed with the announcement of the NFL’s new kickoff structure.
On Tuesday, the league decided to adopt the XFL-style kickoff beginning in 2024 and it could totally change how teams view specific types of players. Kick returns will be...
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper is entering the final year of his deal, but he may end up sticking around with the Browns for quite a while.
The hip-drop tackle has been a hot topic as of late since the NFL decided to ban the tackle for the 2024 season and beyond. Players on offense are all for the new rule because it protects them.
Browns general manager Andrew Berry has built arguably one of the most complete teams in the NFL over the past couple of years, and while no roster stays the same, he named one player that he wants to keep in Cleveland as long as possible.

Joe Milton is a big armed, raw prospect
Everyone knows that the NFL is all about the quarterback and the head coach. The general manager and offensive coordinator come in right after that long with a great pass rusher or three.
After starting five quarterbacks during the 2023 NFL playoff run, the Cleveland Browns have made sure that they have options going into the 2024 season at that most important position:

What has Cleveland committed to their two new running backs?
The Cleveland Browns added two running backs in free agency with the signing of Nyheim Hines and D’Onta Foreman. That complements Nick Chubb and Jerome Ford, but appears to remove Kareem Hunt from the equation.
Time will tell what happens with Chubb’s contract. While he is rehabbing, it makes sense for Cleveland to try to extend his deal, while trying to lower the cap hit of $15.8 million...
The Cleveland Browns faced a critical juncture heading into the 2024 season, particularly with Deshaun Watson as their quarterback and the team poised at a pivotal moment.
According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, the Browns may not extend veteran WR Amari Cooper ahead of the draft but GM Andrew Berry hinted that the team may still do so afterward.
Cleveland Browns recently inked Jerry Jeudy to an extension and they could soon do the same with their top wide receiver Amari Cooper. Cooper is in the last year of his deal and like Elijah Moore, is set to be a free agent next offseason.

Did the Browns’ new backup quarterback get $4 million or $8.7 million?
The dust is starting to settle from free agency, and we have a pretty clear picture on who the Cleveland Browns added during that period before turning their attention to the draft.
That also means that more contract details are available for players. I will be breaking down the contracts for the Browns’ key signings with individual articles, starting with QB Jameis Winston....
Just before free agency starter, the Cleveland Browns took a pretty good swing to land Jerry Jeudy in a trade. Not long after, they followed the trade up and gave him a new deal.
The team's hiring of Vrabel raised some eyebrows.
The Pittsburgh Steelers swung a deal to acquire quarterback Justin Fields in a trade with the Chicago Bears earlier this month, and Cleveland Browns signal-caller Deshaun Watson is not a fan of it.
