Greenberg makes a calm, sensible case for Baker. So, of course, a whole lot of unbelievers are ranting about what a jerk he is. The bottom line is results. Let's keep winning with Baker and see if the debate ever calms down.

It will be interesting to see how many wide receivers the Browns carry, especially with Felton in the mix. Maybe they deal one or two before September, because I can't see some of these guys clearing waivers or being safe on the practice squad.

There are two notable constants regarding opening day- Andy Reid never loses in September, and the Browns never win on opening day. So naturally, I predict the Browns will win, doing away with yet another negative habit. I'm guessing 31-27 Browns. Then, they blow out the hapless Texans and...

He certainly looks engaged this year. Hopefully he can stay healthy and earn a role in this defense.

Malik Jackson and Andrew Billings are penciled in as starters inside Garrett and Clowney. But if Marvin Wilson and Tommy Togiai play up to expectations, could they pair up with Billings and 2nd-year player Jordan Elliott in a 4-man rotation? Jackson and Damion Square are here to provide...

Wilson needs a great camp after a sub-par 2020 season. So far, he appears up to the task and had a nice interception earlier this week. If Wilson keeps this up, he could make Malcolm Smith the odd man out.

There are so many other reasons to consider.... Neither Mayfield nor the Browns want to be the first of the 2018 QB class to sign an extension... Mayfield knows he can cop a bigger payday with another playoff run... Cleveland has him locked up for 2 more years, or more with a franchise tag...

I can not decide if it would be more satisfying to end Mahome's dream of a 20-0 season on opening day... or sending him home from the AFC Championship game with an 18-1 record. Thoughts? (I guess sending him home from the AFC Championship 17-2 wouldn't be bad, either...)

I've been arguing for more defensive backfield depth after the top 3 safeties and 3 corners. Sherman wants to win a championship, but I don't think Berry is interested in sacrificing a season of play for Newsome (and diminish time for Greedy, too). No complaints if they sign him to a...

The Browns won a slew of championships in the 50s and 60s. Before joining the NFL, they went undefeated for me of their AAFL championships. The Football Hall of Fame recognizes it as the first undefeated season in professional football history. But the NFL does not recognize it, so the former...

I'm really looking forward to watching Garrett, Clowney, and McKinley in August. I hope their offseason conditioning and strength work turns into some fun and friendly competition on the practice field. That whole defensive line appears to be the competition to watch, along with WR.

Ward greatly improved his tackling last season, rounding out his overall game. He could look for (and deserve) top dollar, like in the Jalen Ramsey $20+ million per range, which might push him out of Cleveland, especially if Newsome and Williams are as good as we hope. I'm hopeful Berry and...

The Browns are getting picked as a potential division winner (no small feat in the AFC North) and Super Bowl contender. So yeah, they are getting more respect. But there is also a contingent of folks who expect them to level off or fade this year. Whether it is past history and patterns of...

I think Mayfield's extension waits until next year, with Mayfield's blessing, because he knows another playoff run will secure him as much money as Jackson and Allen. Not that he plays for the dollar signs, I think it is more than that. He won't slip, and his stats will improve slightly. But I...

There's no doubt Stefanski instills a sense of control and calm in the locker room, just as Berry reigns over a really smart and united front office. But I think the overall culture change reflects what Paul DePodesta has been trying to get the Haslams to buy into for years. Haslam believed in...

If the Browns get in it, they'll win the Super Bowl. Even if it is against Tampa Bay, I'm sure the defense will do something special and be a big reason for a championship. Getting past the AFC Championship is a bigger challenge. Not as confident versus some of the AFC coaches we face.

So interested in seeing how Woods utilizes JOK among the rest of that defense!
