Browns: 3 takeaways from the initial 53-man roster

The Cleveland Browns joined their NFL brethren on Sunday in cutting their roster down to the initial 53-man squad ahead of the NFL-mandated deadline. As everyone knows by now, the roster as it stands today is not the roster the Browns will take to Jacksonville in two weeks when they open the regular season against […]

Browns initial 2026 53-man roster

The Cleveland Browns initial 53-man roster is set for the 2026 season, with a lot of moves to come over the next couple of days, including the team’s practice squad. The Browns officially waived, cut, and placed players on different lists Sunday afternoon, including an update on having just three quarterbacks on the roster, news […]

Cleveland Browns 53-man roster cuts tracker

The Cleveland Browns have until Sunday at 6:00 PM ET to make roster cuts and announce their initial 53-man roster. Some of those cuts or rumors about roster moves might leak early, though. The Browns may also announce them in waves — for example, some cuts may be announced Friday, some on Saturday, etc. All […]

5 reasons WR Luke Floriea missed the initial Browns 53-man roster

To the disappointment, frustration, surprise, and maybe anger of a lot of Cleveland Browns fans, WR Luke Floriea is reportedly not making the team’s initial 53-man roster. As has been repeated over and over again, the initial 53-man roster is not the final 53-man roster. There are lots of reasons teams make moves in different […]

Cleveland Browns practice squad tracker

While we are monitoring the Cleveland Browns’ roster cuts as they get set to name their initial 53-man roster, all eyes will then shift to Monday, when waiver claims are processed, and then teams can start signing players to their 16-man practice squad. There will be some interesting decisions at quarterback and wide receiver in […]

Cleveland Browns news: Roster cutdown day has arrived

Today is the day that every NFL team must make its final roster cutdowns by 6 p.m. and set its initial 53-man roster. We are contractually obligated* to remind everyone that the initial 53-man roster is not the final 53-man roster, as teams will continue to sign players through waivers, make adjustments on the practice […]

Browns: Is this rookie playing himself into a starter’s role?

Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry entered the 2026 offseason facing an odd situation. The offensive line, long one of the team’s strengths, was aging, injured, and highly paid, leaving Berry to decide whether to stick with the status quo for another year or attempt to rebuild the entire starting unit in a single offseason.  […]

Browns can’t lose sight of the true goal at the quarterback position

NFL teams, and by extension their fans, certainly love the concept of a developmental quarterback. It is a phenomenon seen across the league every season. A quarterback gets selected in the fifth, sixth, or seventh round of the draft, or perhaps is even an undrafted free agent, but has just enough athletic ability that everyone […]

Browns 53-man roster prediction: Last 4 in, last 4 out

The Cleveland Browns finished their 2026 exhibition schedule on a high note by having their second-and third-string guys demolish the New England Patriots. The contest gave both coaching staffs an idea of who to cut and who to keep. None of the projected starters played, with the exception of the special teams guys. RELATED: BROWNS […]

Browns QB room: Patriots game enough to secure roster spots?

The Cleveland Browns’ final preseason game against the New England Patriots allowed both Dillon Gabriel and Taylen Green to make their case for a spot on the initial 53-man roster. Gabriel brings experience to the table, having played at multiple college programs and appeared in several games during the 2025 season. Green is coming in as […]

Browns 53-man roster: Expect creative moves with a few vets, QB room

It is quite impressive how quickly things need to turn from the Cleveland Browns final preseason game to the initial 53-man roster decisions. As we shared in our roster tracker piece, the Browns planned schedule tells us that most of their moves will be made a full 24 hours plus before the NFL’s mandate. As […]

Making a case for the Browns to keep WR Luke Floriea

The worst position group for the Cleveland Browns last year was arguably the wide receiver group. GM Andrew Berry took on the assignment to improve this group and get them out of the hole of being ranked #32 last year. In case you are scoring at home, that is dead last.   In the April […]

Cleveland Browns 53-Man Roster Projection

It is time for my 53-man roster projection for the Cleveland Browns. Head coach Todd Monken will get together and consult with General Manager Andrew Berry, as they work together to trim the roster to 53 players by 6:00 PM ET on Sunday, August 30. This projection is based on the weeks of training camp […]

NFL waiver wire, order: Browns players subject to the process

The Cleveland Browns have 59 players who are subject to waivers if the team includes them among their roster cuts as they work to figure out who the initial 53-man roster will be. This becomes particularly relevant if Cleveland waives a player who you hope they can still eventually sign to the 16-man practice squad. […]

Browns add veteran CB to thinning position group

The Cleveland Browns have spent the summer on a tiresome and mostly pointless quarterback battle that was finally settled, at least temporarily, when head coach Todd Monken announced that Deshaun Watson would be the starter when the team opens the regular season against the Jacksonville Jaguars. With so much of the focus on the quarterback […]

Browns 53-man roster: Surprise Thursday cut of former 3rd-round pick, per report

The Cleveland Browns have decided to get ahead of moves for their initial 53-man roster, despite their final preseason game on Thursday night. On Wednesday, the Browns waived two players and did not replace them, nor were any workouts reported. A lot of the excitement around Cleveland’s young roster comes from the additions of WRs […]

Browns QB room: ‘Most talented quarterback’ may not see the field for a while

The Cleveland Browns quarterback competition is finally over; long live the Cleveland Browns quarterback competition. With the Browns final preseason game kicking off on Thursday night, fans will get a chance to see the other two quarterbacks after Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders have been the focus all offseason. With most Cleveland fans expecting Watson […]

Browns Jim Brown statue used by fan to voice Deshaun Watson displeasure

Recently, several signs have been attached to the statue of Jim Brown outside of Huntington Bank Stadium, home of the Cleveland Browns. Each sign is handwritten and not very nice toward starting QB Deshaun Watson. So far, the Cleveland Police Department hasn’t opened an investigation. Unless the tape caused any kind of permanent damage, it […]
