Brown from Philadelphia to New England. After months of speculation following Garrett’s trade request and subsequent record deal to remain …

Where the opening night of the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh reflected teams’ desire to bolster their trenches, Friday saw receivers and tight ends flow off the board in amongst a heavier look at defensive positions.

The NFL’s voluntary offseason programmes are, by design, incomplete. Attendance is optional and participation phased but, as teams reconvened this week, the usual whispers around presence and absence weren’t long in being heard.

As expected, Matthew Stafford claimed the top individual award at the 15th NFL Honours, but the margin over his nearest rival was perhaps closer than many anticipated. The Los Angeles Rams veteran only narrowly pipped second-year QB Drake Maye, of the New England Patriots, in what many believe was the closest outcome since Peyton Manning and Steve McNair shared the …
The Cleveland Browns have named Todd Monken as the franchise’s 19th full-time head coach, bringing the veteran offensive architect back to the Forest City for a second stint with the organisation.

John Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin squared …
There was a distinct lack of Christmas cheer in Cleveland after the Browns’ 26–8 drubbing at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. The Week 13 game at Huntingdon Bank Field ended in more than just another loss for Cleveland, however, as several Browns players vented their anger at Niners receiver Jauan Jennings, who found himself at the …
It can be very easy to overlook the Cleveland Browns, considering their three-game losing streak sees them sitting at 2-8, almost certainly out of postseason consideration and potentially coming to the end of the Kevin Stefanski era. But for all their troubles and issues, defensive end Myles Garrett is having a tremendous season, and on Sunday he crossed off more …
