Episode Details

The Cleveland Browns kick off the 2026 offseason with renewed hope, hiring offensive coordinator Todd Monken as their new head coach. With around $15.8 million in cap space, GM Andrew Berry aims to make strategic moves despite past spending caution. The Browns traded for right tackle Tytus Howard and restructured Deshaun Watsons deal to save $36 million in cap room. The offensive line is thin, with few locked-in starters, and uncertainties at quarterback and skill spots like wide receiver and tight end make this free agency class crucial. Potential departures include tight end David Njoku, guard Wyatt Teller, and veteran left guard Joel Bitonio. Team insiders highlight prime targets like Green Bay left tackle Rasheed Walker, Baltimore center Tyler Linderbaum, Buffalo guard David Edwards, and wideout Rashid Shaheed. As free agency heats up, the Browns placed a second-round tender on safety Ronnie Hickman and aim for more depth signings. Monkens vision relies on these roster tweaks to turn a shaky offense into a contender.
