2026 Browns Offseason Thread

I woke up today thinking about that Browns offensive line. Those of you waking up thinking about the QB situation make your own daily hell.

I think Wypler is just around until Brailsford gets up to speed. He hasn't been practicing for a few weeks. I guess Zinter is progressing into the guy they thought they were getting, which is a plus. With Barber separating himself as a legit starting talent at multiple positions, they can carry all those centers.

While the biggest issue with the Baker/Watson run on the line has been swing tackle, we look deep for the first time in forever. In the past we look awesome until Conklin would Conk... Followed by Thanos twisting himself funny and going on IR. Now we have Barber ready to go, Thanks can play until he snaps, and then Levenson still on Practice Squad.
If we get two solid future starters out of Wypler, Brailsford, Barber, Teven and Zinter then I'll consider that a huge success.

I'm not high on Brailsford. I think Elgton is gonna play a lot of center this year.

Of that group mentioned above, Barber is the one I'm most confident in/hopeful for.
 

Clay's ratings are hard to explain. Tackles weighted more than interior lineman instead of considering the line as a whole.

Swapping out the flotsam Danny Pinter from four weeks ago that was listed as Baltimore's C for Ethan Pocic who was regularly beaten at C with the Browns raised the Ravens' overall rating from 21st to 9th.

KC's (all same players at each position) two tackles gained .2 rating total, their interior OL lost a combined .3 total and their ranking improved from 26 to 23 compared to four weeks ago.
 
And what exactly are you doing if not slacking? There are lots of stuff out there showing Dillon standing next to Taylen Green.


How embarrassing is it going to be for Dan Labbe when it turns out that's just a coaching intern.
 
I personally think we are going to see the worst version of Deshaun we have ever seen. His success has always been predicated on him playing as a mobile quarterback, and age plus two Achilles injuries will have a significant adverse impact on that.
Think we are going to see something extremely similar to Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh.

Watson is terrified to get hit, and will do whatever he can to get rid of the ball before being hit. Its going to be incredibly frustrating and ugly.
 
We’re 28th on this list. Only four teams worse than us and two are in our division.

One of course is the Bungholes who don’t believe in paying for protection for Joe Burrow.
I think Austin barber is our wildcard. If he starts and looks as good as he did in pre season that could change a lot of things. But I still don’t like EJ at center. That’s gonna be a weak spot.
 
Are there people here who don't expect the offensive line to be bad this year?

Jenkins - 25th rated center
Johnson - 52nd ranked guard
Howard - 58th ranked tackle

So 3 out of the 5 starting spots are among the worst at their position.
 
The Browns area leaning into being the meme team. There is just no other explanation.
Only way to go here.

They might as well just go Little Giants.

They know they suck. We know they suck.

Throw a girl out on the field. Wear shitty jerseys. Be garbage. Embrace it.
 
Let’s let them play a few games before we bury them. I really do see a lot of talent at multiple positions. If Watson can be league average we should win some games.

What are we doing here? Maybe I’m overreacting, but 1. Why is she talking to the media. 2. Why is she not in Browns gear? You can wear old navy shit in your house or at Kroger.
1. She's the assistant GM, seems appropriate to talk to the media
2. Why isn't Andrew Berry in Browns gear?

3. I bet that sweatshirt was stupid expensive and it most definitely didn't come from Old Navy
4. That's a weird shirt to wear, especially after you just traded the best defensive player in team history to... Los Angeles.

Ranked based on what? I love when people post stuff like this.

Just zero context at all.
