Everyone knows that the Cleveland Browns need to make big upgrades to their offensive line this offseason.

There has been a lot going on since the Cleveland Browns made Todd Monken their next head coach a few weeks ago.

Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken has put in the time to find a replacement for the departed and petulant Jim Schwartz as the defensive coordinator of his first NFL staff.

The Cleveland Browns find themselves between the proverbial rock and a hard place when it comes to their quarterback situation in 2026.

The Cleveland Browns have always been stout at defensive back. GM Andrew Berry is a former college cornerback, so the DB room is his pet. Except for last year, Berry has selected a corner or a safety in every draft he has orchestrated since 2020. It’s his baby. RELATED: OG ISAAC SEUMALO FREE AGENCY FRENZY […]
Much like the Cleveland Browns head coach search, new HC Todd Monken’s search for a new defensive coordinator to replace Jim Schwartz is not a fast one.

One of the biggest question marks in Cleveland going forward will be at the center position because Ethan Pocic is set to become a free agent when the new league year begins, and there’s a 0% chance that they bring him back.
