Browns | Joe Flacco not ready to retire Fri Feb 9, 04:13 PM
Cleveland Browns impending free-agent QB Joe Flacco said he wants to play in the NFL next season.
Footballguys view: Flacco proved last year that he could still start and be effective in the NFL. The Browns didn't go as far in the postseason as they'd like, largely because of Flacco's tendency to play "YOLO" ball, but the veteran quarterback might just be brought back as veteran insurance behind Deshaun Watson. |

Cleveland Browns RB Kareem Hunt (hernia) recently underwent sports hernia surgery to repair a ruptured adductor, according to sources.
Footballguys view: Hunt is a free agent this offseason, and last year's production with the Browns should garner him plenty of interest. While teams may not see him as a lead back anymore, Hunt is a proven player who can at least be an important part of a committee. In fact, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Browns keep him around where he could continue to work behind Nick Chubb. |

Browns | Cleveland hires Ken Dorsey as OC Mon Jan 29, 04:25 PM
The Cleveland Browns are hiring Ken Dorsey (Bills) to fill the vacant offensive coordinator position, sources said Sunday, Jan. 28.
Footballguys view: The Browns acted decisively to secure Dorsey's services, as offensive coordinator spots around the league are being filled quickly. He was the scapegoat for the Bills offensive issues, but statistically, they didn't improve greatly under no longer interim offensive coordinator Joe Brady. We'll see which hire looks wiser next season. |

Browns | Cleveland requests Kellen Moore interview Thu Jan 25, 11:10 AM

Footballguys view: Moore was supposed to be a head coach by now, but things fell off in Dallas and he wasn't as successful as he could have been with the Chargers. Now, we'll see if Moore can find a job with the Eagles or the Browns. Anyone taking over the Browns' offense will get the task of getting QB Deshaun Watson back up to the levels we remember him from his days in Houston. |

Cleveland Browns impending free-agent QB Joe Flacco is a player the Browns would like to re-sign this offseason, according to general manager Andrew Berry.
Footballguys view: Flacco played some good football for the Browns last year, and perhaps he'd be interested in returning in 2024 as a backup to Deshaun Watson. It seems like Flacco is in DGAF mode, and it seemed like he enjoyed his time in Cleveland. |

The Browns move forward with HC Kevin Stefanski and a new offensive staff. He'll have to find the right coaches to get the best out of QB Deshaun Watson. |

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson (shoulder) is making good progress in his recovery and will be the Browns starting quarterback moving forward, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.
Footballguys view: The team also left open the possibility of Joe Flacco returning. The downfield pass offense was better with Flacco, but perhaps Watson will be better next season since he'll be more familiar with his offense and teammates. |

Browns | Kareem Hunt open to returning Sun Jan 14, 02:37 PM
Cleveland Browns impending free-agent RB Kareem Hunt said he is willing to re-sign with the Browns this offseason but will also consider other options as well.
Footballguys view: Hunt is clearly on the back nine of his career, but played an important role as a short yardage back who kept Jerome Ford fresh. The Browns also have a decision to make on Nick Chubb, who is due an $11.775 million base salary in the last year of his contract coming off of an ACL tear. |
