Colorado WR/CB Travis Hunter is being evaluated as primarily a wide receiver by the Cleveland Browns leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft, according to Browns general manager Andrew Berry.
Footballguys view: Hunter played both ways in college at both Jackson State and Colorado. Some teams see him mostly as a cornerback who can dabble at receiver. The Browns see him mostly as a receiver. Hunter has said at the Combine that he wants to play both ways, and it's up to a team to decide how much. |
Alabama QB Jalen Milroe, Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders and Miami (Fla.) QB Cam Ward have talked with the Cleveland Browns at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine, according to Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski.
Footballguys view: The Browns have the no.2 overall pick and could take Ward or Sanders with that selection. Milroe is more of an option for them later in the draft, perhaps as early as the second round. Sanders is a pocket passer, Ward is a scrambling playground passer, and Milroe is an athletic project. |

Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins and Minnesota Vikings QB Daniel Jones could be options for the Cleveland Browns this offseason if they look to add a veteran quarterback, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Footballguys view: The Browns wanted to add a quarterback to compete with Deshaun Watson for the starting job in 2025. But after Waston re-tore his Achilles and underwent a second surgery, the Browns need a starter. Cousins and Jones are just two of the players likely to be available. Cousins remains under contract with the Falcons, but most observers expect them to move on from the veteran this offseason. |

Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett had 14 sacks in 2024, becoming the second player in NFL history to record at least 12 sacks in five consecutive seasons.
Footballguys view: Garrett wants to be traded away from the Browns so he can go to a contender. Already with a Hall of Fame resume, getting a ring would cement Garrett as one of the best pass-rushers of all time. The Browns are adamant they are not trading him, but that could just be posturing to drive the price up. |

Cleveland Browns impending free-agent RB Nick Chubb said he hasn't had any contract discussions but hopes to re-sign with the Browns.
Footballguys view: Chubb is one of the most naturally gifted runners in the league. Injuries have caught up to him, and that's why he's only played in 10 games over the last two seasons. While it's unlikely Chubb will be the back he was in 2022 (over 1,700 all-purpose yards), he can still be considered a strong part of a rotation. What's the price for that, and do the Browns want to pay it? These are questions to be answered with free agency about a month away. |

Updating previous reports, Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett has requested a trade, but the team has no desire to deal him, according to sources.
Footballguys view: Browns GM Andrew Berry told reporters at the Senior Bowl last week that he would not trade Garrett, even for a hypothetical offer of two first-round picks. The Browns' stance on trading Garrett has not changed amid his trade request, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Monday. |

Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett has requested a trade from the team Monday, Feb. 3.
Footballguys view: At the Senior Bowl last week, Browns General Manager Andrew Berry reiterated he has no interest in trading Garrett, the 2023 AP Defensive Player of the Year. While that didn't keep Garrett from asking -- and it won't keep teams from offering, the Browns will have a say in this. The No. 1 pick of the 2017 draft, Garrett is a four-time, first-team All-Pro and is already one of the best players in franchise history. He's recorded 102.5 sacks, becoming the first player in league history to record at least 14.0 sacks in four straight seasons in 2024. Although the Browns finished 3-14, Garrett still led the league with 22 tackles for loss. He also had 28 quarterback hits. As Profootballtalk.com notes, Garrett has two more years on his current contract, which would create significant dead money on the cap for Cleveland. |
