Damn Hammer, tell us how you really feel.

Nobody likes seeing a player get injured. But considering the alternatives in this situation this is great news! Thanks mac.

Hope this is accurate... bring him back slowly. Kid gloves.

hoping the injury isn't as serious as first thought. That would be a break

Interesting to see what the Browns do once they activate him....namely, whether or not they keep 4 QBs.

Shedeur Sanders hires an agent

Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders has hired an agent, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.

Sanders has signed with Adie von Gontard, CEO of Young Money APAA Sports, to represent him. Sanders previously did not have an agent, going through the NFL Draft and the first part of his career self-represented.

Sanders’ former Colorado teammate, Jacksonville’s Travis Hunter, also signed with the same agency.

This change for Sanders calls to mind now-Texans receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., who also had been self-represented until recently. Harrison hiring an agent helped facilitate a trade from Arizona to Houston.

While the Browns have not shown an interest in moving Sanders — with recent reports noting the team would like to keep and continue developing him — Sanders hiring an agent now could streamline the process for any potential transaction down the line.

https://www.clevelandbrowns.com/news/dylan-sampson-eligible-to-return-to-practice

The Browns announced RB Dylan Sampson has been designated for return and is eligible to return to practice. Sampson was originally placed on injured reserve on Sept. 15 after he sustained a knee injury in the season opener against the Jaguars on Sept. 13.

Sampson, a fourth-round pick in 2025, has appeared in 16 career games. He has recorded 175 career rushing yards on 65 attempts, while adding 33 receptions for 271 yards with two touchdowns.



I'm excited for Sampson to return.

This is good news! I think he compliments Judkins well.

His speed would help us on outside runs against the Ravens, assuming he plays.

I have wanted to see them together in backfield. They do complement each other.

Browns versus Ravens: Former Tennessee running back out

Which 6 games are you thinking?

I'm not saying we can't - I'd just be surprised unless we get some significantly better play at QB .... Titans and Colts. Yes. Saints. Maybe. I'm not seeing a strong chance to beat any other teams on the schedule without being better and also staying healthy.

We can win them all or lose them all, though neither is likely.

Right now, the Titans is all that matters. I say we can beat them, but we could lose.

IMO the Chiefs are shaky at receiver. I think Jerry Judey would be a good fit.

Jerry Jeudy is an important vet for at least the WR room. We need to keep Jerry Jeudy.

I also always wondered if he's one of those guys that can look unstoppable as a #2 WR, but kinda falls apart when he's the focus of the opposing secondary.

Jeudy isn't going anywhere. Y'all got it twisted, Uncle Quincy will set you straight.

15:32... ah hell, watch the whole show, you won't be sorry.

I think having a veteran on every unit where the core of that unit is young is quite valuable. Jeudy fills that role nicely. The WR unit needs to maintain that veteran presence.

Exactly my point. We're deep at WR also. If we trade him and one of the others gets injured we are in trouble.

I know I've made it clear my disdain for Watson, but that video shows exactly WHY I have so much disdain.(as if the off field stuff isn't enough for me to have a reason).

Everyone talks about team...

Desaun Watson? That's what the last 22 months were about, so I can come out here and win these games for y'all. Not, WE did it.. "I won these games FOR YOU"... in other words, in spite of you.. When it's the direct opposite, the team has stayed in position to win in spite of Watson, then he gets a drive at the end of the game that catapults him out of crap that he showed for 3 quarters.

This guy is a cancer, I don't think there is anyone on this planet that can change my mind.

LOVED the rest of the video, thanks for sharing @FATE!!

I'm really glad you pointed that out because I was starting to think my bias against him was causing me to "hear things" so to speak.

Even when he's talked about the team, he's talking about guys wanting him to lead them, and how they're supportive of him.

I know dude, sooo cringe.

Thanks for winning the game for us, Deshaun.


Maybe this dude is just a huge nerd, a weirdo that everyone knows is a weirdo? Hopefully that's an "it is what it is" type thing and it doesn't affect the locker room.

WINNERS don't talk like that. Championship QBs certainly don't.

Agree with both of you.

We actually have a shot to win 10-11 games again this year. To start the seasons the Browns entered 2026 with the easiest schedule in the entire league

Here is the remaining schedule:
Week 8 at Pittsburgh Steelers 5–2 Away
Week 9 at New Orleans Saints 2–5 Away
Week 10 vs. Houston Texans 2–5 Home
Week 11 BYE
Week 12 vs. Las Vegas Raiders 3–4 Home
Week 13 vs. Cincinnati Bengals 4–2 Home
Week 14 vs. Atlanta Falcons 3–4 Home
Week 15 at New York Giants 4–2–1 Away
Week 16 at Baltimore Ravens 4–3 Away
Week 17 vs. Indianapolis Colts 2–5 Home
Week 18 at Cincinnati Bengals 4–2 Away


The bulk of the Browns remaining difficulty is in the AFC North, facing the Steelers (5–2) once, the Bengals (4–2) twice, and the Ravens (4–3) once.

So, the 2026 AFC North could repeat history when the 2023 AFC North became the first division in NFL history (since the merger) to finish an entire season with every team above .500.

Quincy discussing and nailing Andrew Berry's drafting history / ability. Good 20 minute listen.

I think these young guys have discovered how to win through effort and complimentary play. It’s even shown throughout the depth. With Watson getting better every week too. They could win out, they could go 11-6 or 10-7 but that feels like the floor right now. If they punch the steelers ticket this weekend, i think they could be in the afcn driver seat the rest of the season. And I love it. Even if this falls apart, to this point it has been cardiac kids kind of fun to watch. I want more.
