- Did Browns HC Todd Monken tip his hand about the QB rotation? (Thomas Moore) – “Everyone assumed that Shedeur Sanders would be QB2 against Jacksonville. But what if the HC has another plan in mind?”
- New QB ranking has Browns Shedeur Sanders the lowest, by a lot (Jared Mueller) – “The Athletic’s new Quarterback Index data point adds to the negativity thrown Shedeur Sanders’ way.

The Browns brought in a number of linemen on Thursday, looking to make the necessary moves to improve the roster, either the 53-man roster and/or the practice squad.”
- Browns rankings: Cleveland ’ascending’ as evaluated by the FV Triangle evaluation tool (Jared Mueller) – “As we inch ever so closer to the start of the 2026 NFL regular season, the Cleveland Browns young roster still has a lot of questions, leading to low spots on national power rankings and some apathy and some patience from its fanbase. There are things to be excited about, for sure, but the wins might be a little sparse while the Browns grow and develop.”
- 3 contract extensions Browns should try to get done this week, all defensive starters (Jared Mueller) – “Cleveland’s roster doesn’t currently have any players that general manager Andrew Berry must sign to new deals. But there are three starters on defense who could get contract extensions.”

- After a life at tackle, rookie Austin Barber proves quick study at guard (Browns Zone) – “Austin Barber’s history at guard was nearly nonexistent. That changed drastically three weeks ago when the Browns coaching staff moved the rookie from tackle to right guard. He’s spent most of his time there since, including the final two preseason games.”

- What awaits Browns LT Spencer Fano in regular-season debut vs. Jaguars? (Beacon Journal) – “The life Spencer Fano signed up for when the Browns drafted him and immediately converted him to left tackle is one of a steady diet of elite pass rushers.

(Tampa Bay Times) – “Yaya Diaby stood in the middle of the Bucs’ locker room as players emptied the contents of their cubicles into plastic bags in January, the unmistakable ritual of a season that has come to an end. As an outside linebacker, Diaby gets paid to get after people. On this day, he got his money’s worth without ever putting on a helmet.”
