Apparently DeShone Kizer Just Needed One Week Off
When Browns head coach Hue Jackson announced that he was benching rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer last week, it seemed like he had a decent plan in mind. The Browns, already 0-5 at that point, had three more games against the Texans, Titans, and Vikings before their bye week. Here was a chance for ...

Jets Try Talking Shit To Browns, Immediately Back Down
So the New York Jets, a very bad and anonymous football team that many people believed had a shot at going 0-16, are 2-2. They’ve beaten the Jaguars and the Dolphins, and this week they take on the Browns. I guess if there was any time for the 2017 Jets to feel chesty, this is it, which explains why...

Myles Garrett Injured, Will Be Out A While
Here is a combination of quote and intonation that you really only want to hear about an old, loyal dog who was much loved and led a good life before having to be put down—and not about your first-overall pick, your potentially generational pass rusher who has yet to play a meaningful snap:...
Just Like That, Brock Osweiler Is Back With The Broncos
Who can say exactly when it became fun to track the movements of Brock Osweiler, the former trumped-up backup to Peyton Manning who signed a lucrative four-year deal with the Texans and has been spiraling his way back to Denver in the, umm, year since....
Cleveland Police Union Will Protest Anthem Protests, Via Anthem Protest

Report: Browns Give Up On Brock Osweiler Experiment
At the beginning of the NFL offseason, the Cleveland Browns acquired a second-round pick from the Texans in exchange for taking on bad QB Brock Osweiler and his $16 million salary. Cleveland drafted Notre Dame QB DeShone Kizer in the second round of the NFL Draft, although the thinking was that they...
Joe Haden No Longer Fit In With The Browns' Future
The Cleveland Browns had already signaled their readiness to move on from cornerback Joe Haden earlier this week, when word got out that they were shopping him around. Once those trade avenues eventually led to nowhere, the Browns decided today to cut him. From a distance, the move is jarring, even ...
Ohio Supreme Court Justice Goes Off On "Draft Dodging" Browns Players
Last night, a group of Cleveland Browns players knelt in a circle during the national anthem and held a group prayer in solidarity with Michael Bennett, Marshawn Lynch, and other NFL players who have staged similar protests to call attention to the racial inequality that is plaguing the United State...
Seth DeValve Is The First White Player To Kneel For The National Anthem
Last week, Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett issued a call to action to white players on national anthem protests: “It would take a white player to really get things changed, because when somebody from the other side understands and they step up and they speak up about it... it would change the...
The Browns Really Want You To Buy This Whole Brock Osweiler Thing
Please remember that the only reason Brock Osweiler is currently on the Browns’ roster is because the Texans were so desperate to be rid of him that they gave Cleveland a second-round pick for absorbing Osweiler’s $16 million salary this season. Also remember that Browns GM Sashi Brown was most exci...

Jets And Browns Exchange Hostages
The Jets and Browns made a rare player-for-player trade this morning, with safety Calvin Pryor going to Cleveland and inside linebacker Demario Davis headed back to North Jersey. Because both players are Jets draft busts, this deal feels like a ransom agreement....
Just Like The First-Round Pick He Traded For Trent Richardson, Ryan Grigson Is Going To The Browns
Ryan Grigson finally left the Indianapolis Colts in January after five seasons as the team’s GM. He picked Andrew Luck and T.Y. Hilton but the team stalled out under his guidance and he utterly failed to build anything close to a suitable offensive line to protect his MVP-level quarterback. Jim Irsa...
Brock Osweiler Says There's Proof That He Doesn't Suck
Maybe Brock Osweiler will be a better quarterback for the Browns. It’s possible that the Texans’ offensive scheme didn’t make the most of his abilities, which led him to throw 15 touchdowns against 16 picks and complete 59 percent of his 510 pass attempts. (This is admittedly an incredibly generous ...
State's Attorney Dismisses Battery Charge Against Browns Draftee Caleb Brantley
