🏢 Front Office & Cap Situation

General Manager
Andrew Berry
Head Coach
Todd Monken (hired Jan. 2026 from BAL OC)
Cap Space
$21.1M
Dead Cap
$91.6M

🔄 Key Offseason Moves

🟢 Key Arrivals
HC Todd Monken, OT Tytus Howard (trade from HOU, 3yr/$63M ext), OG Zion Johnson (3yr/$49.5M), OG Teven Jenkins (re-signed), OL Elgton Jenkins (2yr/$24M), LB Quincy Williams (2yr/$13M)
🔴 Key Departures
HC Kevin Stefanski (fired, went to ATL), QB Deshaun Watson (uncertain status)

🎲 Draft Day Scenarios

✅ Dream Scenario
Trade down from 6 (DAL trade at 12+20), stack picks, and Monken builds a dynamic offense. Berry finally gets his QB of the future.
❌ Nightmare Scenario
Watson's dead cap continues to haunt. No franchise QB available at 6 or 24, and Browns rebuild drags on.
