Unjust: Football Hall of Fame voting change likely closes door on Browns Clay Matthews Jr. (Jared Mueller) – “Changes to the Pro Football Hall of Fame likely mean Cleveland Browns legend Clay Matthews Jr. will never get inducted.”

Browns production prediction: 1st-half wide receivers (Abby Mueller) – “The Cleveland Browns are entering the 2026 season with a very different wide receiver group than what they had in 2025. Jerry Jeudy is the veteran in the room, but he is certainly not close to the most talked-about receiver going into the year. With the young talent in this group, it will be interesting to watch who starts to stand out over the early part of the season.”
Browns DT Mike Hall squashes dustup with fellow Buckeye, RB Quinshon Judkins (Barry Shuck) – “Defensive tackle Mike Hall had spent part of training camp with an injury. A couple of fans and media outlets had wondered if he would be released or traded this year due to various injuries and lackluster production so far in his NFL career.”
Browns among Top 12 in salary cap space for ’26 and ‘27 after initial 2026 53-man roster (Jared Mueller) – “Now that the Cleveland Browns, along with the rest of the NFL, have made all the big moves to get to their initial 53-man roster, Over the Cap has adjusted its salary cap figures for each team in the league.”

Would the Browns consider throwing the ball to QB Taylen Green? (cleveland.com) – “Browns sixth-round pick Taylen Green is wholly committed to playing quarterback, and hasn’t entertained the notion of trying his hand at receiver or tight end. But in the interest of keeping him on the 53-man roster when Dillon Gabriel comes off injured reserve with his back injury after at least four games, would the Browns contemplate throwing the ball to Green and seeing if he can contribute at one of those spots as well as backup quarterback?”
How Browns say offensive line will be engine to drive offense (Beacon Journal) – “When in doubt when trying to describe a team, the easy metaphor from which to draw is that of a car.”
Why are the Browns starting Deshaun Watson? Here’s the deal (Terry Pluto) – “Would I open the season with Deshaun Watson as the Browns’ quarterback? Absolutely not. Keep that in mind as you read this story.
Browns Get ‘Bold’ Tua Tagovailoa Trade Prediction Before Week 1 (heavy.com) – “At this point, is there anything that would surprise a Cleveland Browns fan when it comes to what the team might do at the quarterback position? Surely not. So if a national NFL media outlet comes up with a wacky potential trade that sends out Dillon Gabriel and brings back a guy who rivals Watson in on an all-time waste-of-money scale–Tua Tagovailoa–who are we to say it’s crazy?”

Expectations for Jaguars’ Liam Coen, Trevor Lawrence in 2026 (ESPN) – “In the days after the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 27-24 playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills in January, team owner Shad Khan huddled with head coach Liam Coen, general manager James Gladstone and executive vice president of football operations Tony Boselli.”
A rocket scientist quit SpaceX to pursue football. Now he’s the Vikings’ secret weapon (The Athletic) – “To tell this preposterous tale appropriately, we must begin in the Mojave Desert. Perceptions do the place justice. Jagged mountains break up the burnt orange landscape. Outposts surface along Route 66. Live here for a time, and there is a high probability your background would sound straight out of a novel. Such was the case for Chenzo Funari, now the Minnesota Vikings’ assistant defensive backs coach.”
Baker Mayfield believes Bucs finally have a team that can match his edge (Tampa Bay Times) – “Dismiss him if you must. Doubt him if you dare. Disrespect him? That’s what he said his own team did prior to training camp with the offer he rejected for a two-year contract extension. Baker Mayfield has fueled his entire football career with the slights, real and imagined.”
