Link to story Browns | Five draft picks under contract Sat May 11, 09:54 AM
Cleveland Browns third-round draft choice OG Zak Zinter, fifth-round draft choice WR Jamari Thrash, sixth-round draft choice LB Nathaniel Watson, seventh-round draft choice CB Myles Harden and seventh-round draft choice DT Jowon Briggs signed four-year contracts with the Browns Friday, May 10. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Thrash has the speed to threaten as a downfield receiver, but he's a bit of a finesse player who may struggle to shake more physical coverage in the NFL. He'll compete with 2022 sixth round pick Michael Woods II, former Raven James Proche, and former Buc Jaelon Darden for the Browns #6 receiver spot. |

Cleveland Browns RB Nyheim Hines (knee) said he should be 'good to go' for the start of training camp.
| Footballguys view: Hines missed all of the 2023 season after tearing his ACL in a jet ski accident. He joins the Browns this offseason as veteran depth. Nick Chubb will lead the way on the ground in 2024. Behind him, Hines will compete to establish a pecking order with guys like Jerome Ford and D'Onta Foreman. |

Browns | Dorian Thompson-Robinson on track for camp Sun May 5, 01:39 AM
Cleveland Browns QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson (hip) is planning to participate in rookie minicamp.
| Footballguys view: Thompson-Robinson is just trying to hang onto a roster spot this season. He's currently no.4 on the depth chart behind Deshaun Watson, Jameis Winston, and Tyler Huntley. As a rookie in 2023, Thompson-Robinson was able to get on the field for three starts - and it was rough. He does have some skills worth developing, but he's a project to be sure. We could see him land on the Browns' practice squad in 2024 to further develop. |

Undrafted free-agent WR Tyrese Chambers (Maryland) has been invited to participate in the Cleveland Browns rookie minicamp on a tryout basis, according to a source.

Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee) is feeling 'pretty good' and 'progressing nicely' as he continues to rehab the knee injury he suffered in Week 2 of the 2023 season, according to general manager Andrew Berry during his appearance on 92.3 The Fan on Thursday, May 2.
| Footballguys view: Great news here. Chubb can still be one of the best backs in the game, but he's got to stay healthy and play up to his potential. Chubb was injured in Week 2 last year, so he's had plenty of time to get healthy. We expect the team to lean on new additions like D'Onta Foreman and Nyheim Hines while Chubb continues to recover over the rest of the offseason. |

Browns | Nick Chubb continuing to grind in his rehab Tue Apr 16, 03:49 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee) is 'attacking his rehab every day,' according to head coach Kevin Stefanski, who was unwilling to commit to a timetable for a return for his star running back.
| Footballguys view: "I don't know that we'll go past today and this week -- at least that's the way I'm looking at it," Stefanski said in his press conference. "I can promise you, he's working very hard. Early in the morning, he's here, he's attacking his rehab. That's the best way I can put it. When he's ready, he'll be ready." When asked if Chubb has progressed to running, Stefanski declined to say. Chubb, 28, agreed to a revised contract with Cleveland last week. In 77 career games, Chubb has recorded 6,511 yards rushing with 48 touchdowns -- averaging 5.3 yards per carry. Fantasy managers shouldn't get carried away here, but Chubb is generally still available in the double-digit rounds in best ball drafts. There comes a point where the risk is worth the potential late-season reward. |

Browns | Deshaun Watson happy with recovery Tue Apr 16, 03:37 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson (shoulder) told reporters he is 'throwing full speed' and intends to participate at some level during organized team activities, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: The Browns are implementing a revamped offensive scheme with new coordinator Ken Dorsey, but head coach Kevin Stefnski noted that's not going to affect how they approach Watson's rehab. We'll continue to watch for more, but all of us -- the Browns and fantasy managers -- need Watson to be on point. In six games last season, he completed 61 percent of his passes for 1,115 yards with seven touchdowns and four interceptions. He also rushed for 142 yards with a TD. |

Link to story Browns | Cleveland met with Ladd McConkey Fri Apr 12, 01:24 PM
University of Georgia WR Ladd McConkey recently visited with the Cleveland Browns, according to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: McConkey is drawing some Cooper Kupp comparisons in the pre-draft process. He's fun to watch on film, and McConkey was a favorite player of our very own Cecil Lammey down at the Senior Bowl earlier this year. He's fast, quick, and McConkey is competitive after the catch. He's not Kupp, but we could see him as a plus-Marvin Mims (Broncos) player for any team interested. |
Browns | Michael Pratt meets with Cleveland Thu Apr 11, 02:07 PM
Tulane University QB Michael Pratt visited with the Cleveland Browns earlier in the week, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Pratt is an interesting mid-round prospect in the 2024 NFL draft. He's a smart player who sees the field well and can throw downfield with touch. The Browns could add Pratt in the third or fourth round as a developmental prospect behind starting QB Deshaun Watson. |
Browns | Nick Chubb restructures Thu Apr 11, 08:53 AM
Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb restructured his contract Thursday, April 11, to reduce his $11.775 million base salary with a chance to earn it back in incentives.
| Footballguys view: Chubb is coming back from a knee injury that cut his 2023 season short in Week 2. This year, Chubb could regain his form and help lead the way on the ground for the Browns. The injury is a concern, and the Browns could ramp him up for the regular season by limiting him in training camp and the preseason. Stay tuned. |

Browns | Cleveland will meet with Ja'Tavion Sanders Tue Apr 9, 05:19 PM
Texas TE Ja'Tavion Sanders is scheduled to have an official visit with the Cleveland Browns in the near future, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
| Footballguys view: The Browns already have a front-line fantasy producer at the position in David Njoku. They have lost some depth this offseason, but Sanders is considered one of the top prospects at his position in this class. In other words, a clearer path to workload might be better for Sanders' fantasy fortunes. |

Browns | Nyheim Hines on track Mon Apr 1, 10:01 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Nyheim Hines (knee) said he has been making good progress in his rehab and believes he is on track with his recovery.
| Footballguys view: With the NFL's new kickoff rules, Hines' elite return ability is worth noting. He has averaged 11.4 yards on 89 punt returns (with two touchdowns) and 25.5 yards on 32 kickoff returns (with four touchdowns) in his career. Hines also wants to contribute as a running back, providing depth behind Nick Chubb and Jerome Ford, with Chubb still working his way back from a serious knee injury of his own. |

Browns | Nick Chubb making good progress in rehab Tue Mar 26, 01:15 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee) is 'doing a fantastic job with his rehab' and should be able to move from the conditioning phase of his rehab to some pre-football activity, according to general manager Andrew Berry.'As we think about it, until we see him in the next couple of months, I think the next - call it three - months will be pretty telling in terms of his potential readiness for early in the season. We're going to be conservative in terms of our approach in our assessment with building the roster because (Chubb is) coming off of a major knee injury. But I do have to give him a lot of credit. He's done a really, really nice job. But I think we'll have a better sense. Don't hold me to it, but I think probably if you ask me that question around the draft, I may have maybe a little bit more of a specific answer,' Berry said.
