Word in February was that it was doubtful that Browns linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah will ever play again and the team made a roster move that rules him out for the 2026 season on Friday.
The Browns placed Owusu-Koramoah on the reserve/physically unable to perform list. The move removes him from the 90-man roster and bars him from being activated at any point this year.
Owusu-Koramoah spent all of last season on the PUP list as well. He suffered a neck injury in October 2024 and has not returned to the field since getting hurt.
The 2021 second-round pick has 308 tackles, eight sacks, three interceptions, and six forced fumbles in 49 career games.
Browns first-round pick Spencer Fano has signed his first NFL contract.
Fano signed a four-year deal worth $32.2 million. The offensive tackle’s salary is fully guaranteed and he will receive a $19.9 million signing bonus.
The Browns announced that they have signed second-round wide receiver Denzel Boston, third-round tackle Austin Barber, fifth-round center Parker Brailsford, fifth-round linebacker Justin Jefferson, fifth-round tight end Joe Royer, sixth-round quarterback Taylen Green, and seventh-round tight end Carsen Ryan as well. First-round wideout KC Concepcion and second-round safety Emmaneul McNeil-Warren remain unsigned.
The Browns also announced the signing of 12 undrafted free agents. The group includes defensive end Logan Fano, who was also teammates with his brother Spencer at Utah.
Mississippi State running back Davon Booth, Delaware cornerback Nate Evans, LSU defensive tackle Bernard Gooden, SMU running back TJ Harden, Auburn tackle Izavion Miller, USC cornerback DeCarlos Nicholson, Oklahoma State punter Wes Pahl, Florida defensive end Tyreak Sapp, Vanderbilt defensive end Khordae Sydnor, Boise State safety Zion Washington, and Baylor wide receiver Kole Wilson make up the rest of the undrafted additions in Cleveland.
Jameis Winston is going to eat a W this summer. Along with the rest of the letters that spell, “World Cup.”
Fox has announced that Winston will serve as a correspondent for its coverage of the FIFA World Cup, to be played throughout North America in June and July.
Winston, the first pick in the 2015 NFL draft, has gone from five-year starter in Tampa Bay to backup who periodically gets the call to play.
From 2015 to 2019, Winston started 70 games with the Buccaneers. Since 2020, he has started 19 games while playing for the Saints, Browns, and Giants.
On the media side, he first rose to prominence while working for Fox during the week of Super Bowl LIX. He also appeared on the Netflix broadcast of MLB’s opening night in 2026.
Winston will be able to waltz into a media career, whenever he’s ready to make the transition. For now, Fox seems to be the favorite to eventually turn temporary assignments into something more permanent.
The Cowboys traded up one spot before taking safety Caleb Downs in the first round of this year’s draft, but that deal only came after an attempt to move even higher was rebuffed.
A clip from ESPN’s The Pick Is In shows Browns general manger Andrew Berry fielding a call from Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones while on the clock at No. 9. Berry turned down Dallas’s offer of their No. 12 and No. 20 picks for No. 9 and No. 24, and he did not change his mind when Jones offered to add a fifth-round pick to the offer.
The offer suggests the Cowboys thought that the Giants were going to take Downs at No. 10 as that was a frequent link during the mock draft season. The Giants wound up taking tackle Francis Mauigoa and the Cowboys wound up sending two fifth-rounders to the Dolphins to move up to No. 11 for Downs. They later traded down three spots from No, 20 and picked up two fourth-round picks.
The Browns took tackle Spencer Fano at No. 9 and another clip from the show features Berry talking to the Browns’ draft room after they traded down from No. 6 into that spot. He said Fano, Mauigoa and wide receiver Jordyn Tyson were the players the team was considering at No. 9 and Tyson went to New Orleans at No. 8, so another move down may have left them without all of their preferred options with their first of two first-round picks.
In the five years since the NIL era obliterated the facade that college football players are there for college, not much has been said about grade-point averages or graduation rates. So it’s nice to get a periodic reminder that, at some level, the college part of things still matters.
Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders returned to Colorado on Saturday to get his degree.
Via Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Sanders walked the stage at graduation to secure a degree in sociology.
Sanders left the school a year ago to enter the NFL draft. Now entering his second season, Sanders is competing with Deshaun Watson to be the starting quarterback.
As a rookie, Sanders started seven games. He won three games for the Browns, who otherwise went 2-8 last season.
