Kevin Stefanski’s net worth in 2024
Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports

Kevin Stefanski’s net worth in 2024 is $2.4 million. Stefanski is the current head coach of the Cleveland Browns. He is a PFWA Coach of the Year awardee, an AP NFL Coach of the Year recipient, and a Sporting News Coach of the Year winner. With the Browns back in the playoffs, Stefanski could be looking at more awards. Let’s take a closer look at Kevin Stefanski’s net worth in 2024.

Kevin Stefanski’s net worth in 2023 (estimate): $2.4 million

Kevin Stefanski’s net worth in 2024 is $2.4 million. This is according to reputable outlets such as Sports Virsa.

Kevin Stefanski was born on May 8, 1982, in Philadelphia. He attended Saint Joseph’s High School. After graduating from high school, Stefanski attended the University of Pennsylvania. There, he suited up for the university’s Penn Quakers football squad. With the Quakers, Stefanski was given the Quakers Freshman of the Year Award.

In addition to this, he was also part of the only Quakers roster that went undefeated. In 2002, Stefanski was a First team All-Ivy League selection. He eventually graduated from Penn with a degree in Communications.

Kevin Stefanski becomes assistant director of Penn football

After a decorated college football stint at Penn, Stefanski returned to the university’s football program as an assistant director of the Quakers’ football program. Here, he overlooked the daily operations of the Quakers. His performance as assistant director allowed him to gain some attention from NFL squads.

Kevin Stefanski’s assistant-coaching stint with the Vikings

In 2006, the Minnesota Vikings hired Stefanski to be a part of their coaching staff. Stefanski held several positions with the franchise. These included assistant to the head coach, assistant quarterbacks coach, tight ends coach, running backs coach, quarterbacks coach, interim offensive coordinator, and offensive coordinator. According to Sportskeeda, Stefanski raked in an annual salary of $1 million as part of the Vikings’ coaching staff.

During his time here, Stefanski played an instrumental role in developing NFL quarterback Case Keenum. In fact, Stefanski’s impact was felt in the NFL, given that the New York Giants even made an attempt to hire the Vikings’ assistant coach. However, the Vikings ultimately denied the Giants’ attempt to hire Stefanski, based on a report by ESPN.

Kevin Stefanski becomes head coach of the Browns

After 14 seasons with the Vikings, the Cleveland Browns hired Stefanski to become the team’s 18th head coach. Shortly after the announcement, Stefanski signed a five-year contract. The deal reportedly pays him $3.5 million on an annual basis. According to a report by Sportskeeda, Stefanski’s salary is one of the lowest for a head coach in the NFL.

The former Quakers standout didn’t really have a memorable coaching debut. In fact, the Browns were completely blown out by the Baltimore Ravens, 38-6.

But despite a disappointing start, Stefanski put all the doubts to rest after leading the Browns to a 11-5 win-loss card during his first season as head coach. It was the Browns’ first winning season since 2007. In addition to this, their record was also enough to secure a playoff berth, ending an 18-year drought in the process.

For his efforts, Stefanski was named NFL Coach of the Year, the first Browns coach to win the coveted coaching award since Forrest Gregg, who accomplished the feat 44 years prior. In addition to this, he was also named Coach of the Year by the Professional Football Writers of America and The Sporting News.

But while Stefanski had a solid coaching debut season, he has yet to replicate the tremendous feat. The NFL Coach of the Year led the squad to a disappointing pair of succeeding seasons. In 2021, the Browns finished with a 8-9 record and failed to make the postseason. A season later, Cleveland had to endure another losing season, with the Browns posting a 7-10 record as they failed to make the playoffs for the second straight year.

However, the Browns finished 11-6 and earned a wild-card berth in the playoffs in 2023. Stefanski is receiving many accolades because the Browns have been without All-Pro player Jack Conlin, who was diagnosed with a torn ACL following their dominant victory against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1. The Browns looked to be cooked in November when starting quarterback DeShawn Watson went down for the rest of the season with a shoulder injury.

With Watson out and backup Dorian Thompson-Robinson in concussion protocol, the Browns in desperation turned to 38-year-old Joe Flacco, who hadn’t been with any team in 2023 until the Browns signed him to their practice squad after Watson got hurt. Flacco became the starter and the Browns won four of five games to clinch a playoff spot.

Now Stefanski and the Browns will be taking on Watson’s former team, the Houston Texans, in the wild-card round. Nevertheless, were you at all stunned by Kevin Stefanski’s net worth in 2023?

Steelers News: Omar Khan Details Why George Pickens Was Traded to the Cowboys Despite 'Developing' Him Since 2022

Following his breakout year in 2023, George Pickens was expected to be the WR1 of the Pittsburgh Steelers for the foreseeable future. He had already justified the second-round draft capital that the franchise had initially invested in him, but there were growing concerns about Pickens’ lack of maturity. Fast forward to the 2025 offseason, and even though he’s managed to produce a career total of 2,841 receiving yards throughout his first three seasons in the league, the Steelers were willing to let him go in exchange for nothing more than a 2026 third-round pick and a minuscule value swap with the Dallas Cowboys. While the team has since managed to replace Pickens’ service with that of D.K. Metcalf, fans and analysts alike are still questioning the decision. Thankfully, the self-titled host of The Rich Eisen made the most of his recent discussion with the team’s general manager, Omar Khan, by directly asking him “Why did George Pickens have to go despite developing him?” “I’ll just say, as we went through the offseason and the process, it just became evident that, for both sides, a fresh start was the best thing,” Khan explained. “It just made sense for both of us.” Suffice to say, Khan’s answer, while not very insightful, does suggest that Pickens’ relationships with various Pittsburgh personnel had become fractured beyond repair. Whether it was the Steelers or Pickens himself who was responsible for things not working out does not matter anymore, as Khan’s brief statement brings the entire saga to a somewhat definitive end. For one reason or another, it was no longer in either side’s best interest to continue working together, and that’s that. Much like the rest of his interview with Eisen, Khan and the rest of the Steelers’ organization is now moving forward. When Eisen noted that Pittsburgh’s trade involving Minkah Fitzpatrick and Jalen Ramsey couldn’t have “happened over night,” Khan explained that it took “weeks” to finally get the deal done with the Miami Dolphins. Being sure to cover all of the high notes from the Steelers’ chaotic offseason, the seven-time Sports Emmy award nominee also inquired about T.J. Watt’s latest benchmark contract with the team. While he was unwilling to go into the “specifics of the numbers,” Khan did proclaim that, “I think it just reflects how we feel about him. It was important for me, and the organization, for T.J. to be a one-helmet Hall of Famer. It would be a great thing and hopefully there’s many, many more years to go with T.J., but it was just important. His numbers speak for themselves… As great of a player as he is, he’s an even better person.” At 6-foot-4 and 229-pounds, the aforementioned Metcalf is certainly capable of filling the Pickens-sized hole in Pittsburgh’s receiving core. Likewise, the addition of Ramsey along with their retaining of Watt will help to ensure that the defense is as stout as ever. The Steelers are going all in on the 2025 regular season with the hopes of discovering their first playoff win since January 15th of 2017 and it’s too late for them to turn back now. They’ll have to hope that they’ve made the right moves and prioritized the right signings. Otherwise they’ll risk wasting the final regular season of one of the most storied careers in all of NFL history.

‘In What World Does This Make Sense?????’: Oilers and $63M Forward

According to some, throw out the idea that the Edmonton Oilers should pursue Max Pacioretty. A veteran forward who has earned over $63 million over the course of his NHL career has yet to sign an NHL contract and was recently mentioned in a post by David Staples as a possible fit. In a recent post, the Journal noted, “All of the top NHL unrestricted free agents have already signed contracts, but there’s one big name player still available that makes good sense for the Edmonton Oilers to pursue.” Responses have been varied, with a few quite vocal about the Oilers not following Staples’ advice. “In what world does this make sense?????” writes a commenter on a recent post for The Hockey Writers. Another commenter wrote, “Pacioretty is a good journeyman player but he is injury prone now, late in his career. Oilers might be lucky to get 40 games out of him. They should look elsewhere instead of taking a chance on Patches.” Tyler Yaremchuk of Oilers Nation chimed in and said, “He scored five goals in 37 games last year with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Can’t stay healthy, very old, very slow.” Yaremchuk then went on a rant, listing several Oilers forwards who would be better than Pacioretty. What About Pacioretty on a PTO? Is there any reason that a team that is looking to get younger and faster, and move out depth pieces that were older and less productive than expected, would revert back to last summer’s strategy? It seems like an odd choice on the surface. Something would have to happen that would make giving Pacioretty a look risk-free. That means only a PTO. Even at that point, should he agree, it would require him to be willing to sign a two-way contract for the league minimum.

Phoenix Suns make 'concrete' offer to Golden State Warriors wing Jonathan Kuminga

The Phoenix Suns pursuit for Golden State Warriors wing Jonathan Kuminga is reaching its final stages. According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Phoenix and Sacramento Kings have made “concrete” offers to the 22-year-old. Kuminga hasn’t received much interest in restricted free agency but could still make the jump from the Warriors to a different team next season. Charania on Suns interest with Kuminga: “I’m told the Phoenix Suns and the Sacramento Kings are two teams that have made concrete offers to the Warriors over the last week or so. They’re two of the most aggressive teams.” Reports have indicated that the Warriors want a first-round pick, a solid role player and no bad contracts. The Suns are lacking in first-round picks but have plenty of role players to offer in a sign-and-trade. Shooting guards Grayson Allen or Royce O’Neale would have to be a part of any trade with Kuminga because of the former lottery pick’s high asking price. Allen makes nearly $17 million, while O’Neale cost around $10 million. The duo are some of the most effective shooters in the NBA and would be a perfect player to play off ball of superstar Stephen Curry. Phoenix has a surplus at shooting guard and wouldn’t lose much positional depth with the departure of the two backcourt players. In 2024-2025, Kuminga averaged 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists on 45.4% shooting from the field. The turmoil between the young wing and head coach Steven Kerr boiled over after limited playing time in the playoffs. The DNPs that Kuminga racked up in the playoffs likely has hurt the value of him in free agency and in the trade market, which could help Phoenix in its pursuit.

Yankees have finally found their third baseman in Ryan McMahon

Yankees have finally found their third baseman in Ryan McMahon

After years of speculation and nothing materializing, the New York Yankees have at last acquired third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies, per the New York Post's Jon Heyman. Pitching prospects Griffin Herring and Josh Grosz are headed to the Mile High City in return. They were the number eight and 21st-ranked prospects in the Yankees' farm system, per MLB.com. Given the Yankees' struggles at the third-base position over the last few years, bringing in a guy who was an All-Star in 2024 and will be much more reliable is a win. Former MLB player and current analyst Cameron Maybin certainly believes that, as he was pushing the McMahon-to-New York narrative over the last week and feels it could be a great fit for both sides. "The third baseman they need plays in Colorado...I'm telling you! Defensively more than adequate and Taylor made for the ballpark offensively," Maybin wrote on social media. Maybin went on to mention how McMahon will feel reinvigorated joining a World Series contender like the Yankees after the last six-and-a-half years of being at the bottom in Colorado. The 30-year-old is not having his best season, slugging 16 home runs and 35 RBI with a .217 average through 100 games with the Rockies, per MLB.com stats. However, he's consistently been a 20-plus home run hitter who drives in runs at a strong rate and has a large sample size of doing so. Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez (.252 average, 36 HRs, 86 RBI) has seemed to be No. 1 target for most teams, and for good reason, but given the Yankees' current situation and weaknesses, McMahon made more sense. Not only does he play a better third base, which New York desperately needs, but he has another two years of control after 2025, whereas Suarez would have been a rental. The acquisition cost was nothing crazy, and adding a lefty bat with some power to potentially take advantage of the short porch at Yankee Stadium is always a bonus. Some may not be satisfied until they see McMahon positively impacting the New York Yankees, but rest assured, this is a very solid pickup.
