The Cleveland Browns are ready to embark on the 2026 season, where a lot of change has happened this offseason. Todd Monken is the team’s new head coach, and the offensive, defensive, and special teams coaching staffs have been overhauled or heavily revamped. Other big changes include the offensive line being revamped across all five positions, two rookie wide receivers being taken high in the draft, and the trading of two-time defensive MVP Myles Garrett.
Those moves don’t imply the team is throwing
in the towel by any stretch. Monken wants to prove himself as a first-time head coach, the team acquired a star defensive end (Jared Verse) in the deal for Garrett, and they just handed massive contract extensions to Denzel Ward and Grant Delpit in the secondary. As we look at the Browns’ schedule, the Browns’ win total projection is set at 6.5 wins, according to FanDuel, and you can place bets on the over or under.
