Cleveland Browns fans should steel themselves for the withering mockery, criticism and derision that will come prior to the start of the football season.

The Las Vegas Raiders have acquired quarterback Kenny Pickett from the Cleveland Browns in a trade, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Cleveland Browns still have some decisions to make regarding their quarterback room heading into the season.

According to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz, the Browns finalized a deal with former New England Patriots offensive lineman Cole Strange to join their practice squad on Wednesday afternoon. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Browns plan to eventually elevate Strange to the active roster.

Former ESPN and Fox Sports analyst Skip Bayless didn't hold back in criticizing Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski, claiming the coach is mishandling rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders.

After a tough 2024 season, the Browns look to bounce back in 2025 with new draft talent and fresh storylines on the field

Szmyt has a great pedigree for a guy who has never kicked in an NFL game that counts. He won the Lou Groza Award out of nowhere as a freshman at Syracuse, and he remained solid the rest of his college career with the Orange. He has since kicked in multiple secondary pro football leagues.

However, Judkins — who encountered some off-the-field trouble last month — still has not signed his rookie deal, and the Browns probably don't want to be relying on the Ford-Sampson tandem. Ford is a decent supplementary piece, but he isn't a featured back, and Sampson has proven nothing yet.
