After an abysmal 1-15 season in 2016, the Cleveland Browns are hoping to take a step forward as their rebuilding process continues.

Rookie DeShone Kizer is the latest in the long line of quarterbacks over the past several years the Cleveland Browns are pinning their hopes on to be the long-term solution to their perennial problems under center.

The Cleveland Browns once stood as one of the NFL’s proudest franchises. Their history remains littered with great games, long runs in the NFL playoffs, and Hall of Fame players.

The Cleveland Browns have yet to officially name their quarterback of choice to start Week 1 of the regular season. But with rookie DeShone Kizer named to start the third preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brock Osweiler might very well prepare for life as a backup to the rookie quarterback.

The last time Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant played a regular season game, the idea of Donald Trump becoming president of the United States was still considered as much of a joke as the Cleveland Browns winning the Super Bowl. But a 19-month absence from the NFL didn’t seem to have diminished Bryant’s skills […]

The Cleveland Browns have had a carousel of quarterbacks over the last 10 years that even diehard fans might have a hard time naming all those that started under center during that span.

In trying to address one of their biggest problems, the Browns used their first overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft on defensive end Myles […]

It’s all about the mindset for Cleveland Browns quarterback Brock Osweiler. The 26-year-old will enter the 2017 NFL season on the heels of a bad year with the Houston Texans that he’d rather forget. After sort of swindling the Texans, who signed him to a four-year, $72-million contract in 2016, Osweiler quickly became a poster […]

An organization can do everything else right, but if they don’t have a premier quarterback, it’s difficult to win in the National Football League. Finding that elusive gem can become a lifelong odyssey for coaches and executives. Great coaches need great players to win, especially under center. Per usual, there are a number of NFL […]

Two more weeks. Two more games. At 0-14, the Cleveland Browns are in danger of joining some unfortunate company.

Lamar Jackson is still a couple years away from the NFL, but Johnny Manziel is already warning him not to go to the Cleveland Browns.

The Cleveland Browns are quickly approaching a historically terrible 0-16 final record, but at least their fans are having fun with it.

Forgive Browns fans if they don’t have much hope for their favorite team. With decades of poor play on their resume, Cleveland actually might have their worst football team since the revival of the Browns in 1999. They currently sit at 0-10; a 0-16 season is a real possibility. Despite their inadequacy in every facet […]

Joe Thomas has spent his entire career with the Cleveland Browns, but that could come to an end soon. For most of his tenure, Thomas has been Cleveland’s best player, at any position. He’s a nine-time Pro Bowler, six-time First-Team All-Pro, and two-time Second-Team All-Pro. But, with Cleveland toiling away once again, it might be […]

Isaiah Crowell‘s relationship with the police has taken a drastic turn over the last few months, for the better.

Josh Gordon‘s time in Cleveland has finally come to a close. With his four-game suspension to start the 2016 season nearly up, Gordon entered a rehab facility this week.

Earlier this week, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Terrelle Pryor claimed that the Browns are capable of winning their remaining 13 games after starting 0-3.

The Browns were leading the Baltimore Ravens 20-0 before giving up 25 consecutive […]

Even if you’re an NBA player, it doesn’t always make up for being a Cleveland Browns fan. Just ask C.J. McCollum.

There was never a question that this was going to be a rebuilding year for the Cleveland Browns. They used 14 picks in the 2016 NFL draft, signing all of them. They’ll have two first rounders and a number of other selections in the 2017 draft as well. They’re investing in the future while sacrificing […]
