The Cleveland Browns entered the 2026 offseason with plenty of questions: Who would be the quarterback moving forward? Who would take the reins from Kevin Stefanski as the team's next head coach?
Given how he's dealt with criticism and the fan base, it's easy to understand why the Browns' faithful still don't want to see Watson take a single snap for their team, even after a win.
Deshaun Watson outplayed Baker Mayfield in Week 2 and it was a big surprise across the NFL. After the game, Cleveland’s starting quarterback made it clear how he feels.
It's no secret that many members of the NFL community thought that first-year Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken would bench Watson in favor of second-year pro Shedeur Sanders if Watson played poorly in Sunday's game at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
36 NFL quarterbacks have thrown for over 35,000 passing yards in their careers. How many of the 36 can you name in six minutes?
A few trades have rearranged the NFL's backup quarterback ranks, but the dust has mostly settled. From a mix of recent first-round disappointments, aging vets, and young project types, here is how the league's QB2 ranks look for the 2026 season.
We’re just a couple of games into the 2026 season for the Cleveland Browns, but one trade clearly needs to be made. The Cleveland Browns picked up a Week
It's time for our weekly rookie check-in, and we're going to focus on a trio of defenders who stood out in NFL Week 2.
Week 2 of the NFL season had two huge surprises during the Cleveland Browns and Tampa Bay Buccaneers game. Number one is the Browns winning, and the other is Denzel Boston having a huge day for fantasy football.
Browns fans are going to love what Todd Monken had to say after the Browns picked up their first win of the 2026 NFL season. The Cleveland Browns showed
The Cleveland Browns cannot run the football. On Sunday, Sept. 20, the Browns squared off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, concluding a long-winded, rain-delayed outing with a victory, 23-19.
NFL stars can't play forever, and retirement is coming sooner than later for some of the league's top players. These 25 players could call it quits following the 2026 season.
Deshaun Watson walked into halftime in Tampa with his starting job under scrutiny and his offense stuck in neutral. He walked out with a request for Todd Monken, and then delivered on it.
Baker Mayfield said on the "Fourth & South Podcast" this summer that he'd had Sunday's game against the Browns circled since the schedule came out.
Todd Monken and the Cleveland Browns entered the 2026 season with plenty of doubts surrounding the team. Questions followed Monken’s coaching, Deshaun Watson’s place as the starting quarterback, and the direction of the franchise.
After a disaster week one, expectations were low as they traveled to Tampa Bay to face the Baker Mayfield led Buccaneers. On paper the Browns were just hoping to stay competitive, but even with an extended rain delay, the Browns pulled off the 23-19 win to move to 1-1 on the year.
When the Cleveland Browns were embarrassed in their Week 1 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the jokes immediately started to roll in. One of the most notable ones came from longtime Browns nemesis, former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, when he quoted JuJu Smith-Schuster on NBC, saying, "The Browns is the Browns."
Legendary former Cleveland Browns general manager Ernie Accorsi died Saturday, Sept. 19, 2026, at age 84 after a battle with cancer.

What's the return policy on an NFL quarterback contract? We're asking for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Cleveland Browns and Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been forced into a weather delay late in Sunday’s Week 2 matchup at Raymond James Stadium, with lightning in the area bringing the game to a halt.
With the Buccaneers driving for the potential game-winning score in the fourth quarter, lightning led to officials suspending the Week 2 game at the two-minute warning.
The Browns might give Watson a shorter leash than anticipated.
Per Chris Easterling, the Browns are elevating LB Nathaniel Watson for Week 2, his second straight elevation. Watson, 26, was a sixth-round pick by the Browns in 2024 out of Mississippi State.
There aren't many — if any — arguments to justify starting Deshaun Watson, and Week 1 proved that head coach Todd Monken didn't make the right call.
Nick Saban officially retired from coaching in January of 2024, and he's been a sports personality ever since. With a football mind as great as Saban's, though, it wouldn't be ridiculous to think he might get back into the sport at some point in a coaching role.
After a dismal 34-10 beating by the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Cleveland Browns will now have time to lick their wounds and reevaluate how they should go about the rest of the NFL season.
