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...

Cleveland Browns to meet with perhaps the most physically imposing quarterback in the NFL Draft

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...

Browns’ Rodney McLeod is not happy about NFL rule change that will have an impact on how he plays the game

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.

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:

Deshaun Watson is set to start after...

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...
