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 Browns Really Want You To Buy This Whole Brock Osweiler Thing

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.

The Browns Can't Possibly Fuck This Up...Right?
The consensus is that Myles Garrett will be the first pick in this month’s NFL draft, and that the Texas A&M DE can be a generational player.
