Browns want 4th round pick in prospective Kareem Hunt trade

The Browns are looking for an early day-three pick in exchange for a 10-game rental of Kareem Hunt

The Cleveland Browns have been listening to trade offers on running back Kareem Hunt this week according to The OBR’s Brad Stainbrook. And now today, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler stated the Browns are looking for a fourth round pick in exchange for the former rushing champion.

This is a solid value for a player who has not quite played well in 2022, is turning 28 years old at the position with the shortest shelf life, and is set to become a free agent in 10 games. That value, however, might be too high given the context just outlined.

At 2-5 on the season, the Browns are wise to field calls on expiring contracts currently on their roster.

Browns sign former Miami University S Mike Brown to practice squad

The Browns have added a safety to the practice squad: former Miami of Ohio Redhawk Mike Brown

The Cleveland Browns held tryouts for three safeties last week, and now they have signed one of them to their practice squad. After trying out James Wiggins, Bryce Cosby and Mike Brown, the Browns have added Brown to the practice squad.

Brown is a product of Oxford, Ohio, and played his college football at Miami (Ohio). Listed at 6-foot-0 and 218, Brown is an ordinary athlete with 4.59 speed. During his 2021 campaign with the RedHawks, Brown tallied 36 solo tackles and 9.5 stops for loss.

Signing with the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted free agent this past spring, he failed to make the 53-man roster. He has spent time on the practice squads of both the Vikings and the Green Bay Packers.

Browns listening to trade offers on RB Kareem Hunt after 2-5 start

The Browns are listening to trade calls on Kareem Hunt after their 2-5 start

The NFL trade deadline is vastly approaching in six days, and it appears the Cleveland Browns are in the mood to shop some of their expiring contracts. According to The OBR’s Brad Stainbrook, the Browns are actively listening to trade offers on running back Kareem Hunt.

Over the past two games, Hunt has seen just 10 total touches. After averaging 15 touches in the first five games of the season, this is a dramatic decrease. Requesting a trade this summer, Hunt may finally get his wish to maximize his abilities in a contract season. There is likely a contending team out there willing to overpay for a running back as talented as Hunt.

Tempers flare in locker room after Browns lose to Ravens

Yelling was heard in the locker room of the Cleveland Browns after their loss to the Ravens, and that might be a good thing.

The moment a team is silent and complacent after a loss is a moment a regime has lost a football team. That time is not right now as, according to Cleveland dot com’s Mary Kay Cabot, yelling and flaring tempers were heard coming from the locker room of the Cleveland Browns after a heartbreaking loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski called it “normal football,” as a bit of anger and vocality coming out of the locker room of a 2-5 football team is probably a good thing. The Browns played a full 60 minutes and came up short, but the improvements were evident. Moral victories are not enough, however.

The Browns will look to rebound and end a four-game skid against the Cincinnati Bengals during primetime Monday Night Football next week.

Browns name 7 inactives including WR Anthony Schwartz vs. Ravens

The Browns have released their seven inactives vs. the Baltimore Ravens, and second-year wide receiver Anthony Schwartz is among them

The Cleveland Browns have announced their seven inactives for today’s game against the Baltimore Ravens. While the majority are not too big of a surprise, the Browns have, however, listed second-year wide receiver Anthony Schwartz as inactive as well.

The other six names include the injured Denzel Ward, Wyatt Teller, Isaac Rochell, and Joe Haeg. Third-string quarterback Kellen Mond continues to be inactive as well, joined by veteran offensive lineman Chris Hubbard.

Listing five inactives themselves, cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis, wide receiver Tylan Wallace, running back Mike Davis, linebacker A.J. Klein, and guard Ben Cleveland will not suit up for the Ravens.

Browns also elevating LB Dakota Allen from practice squad

The Browns are elevating Dakota Allen to the active roster in addition to Herb Miller for the game against the Baltimore Ravens

The busy week of linebacker Dakota Allen continues. First, he was signed to the active roster of the Cleveland Browns a week ago but was then released this week in anticipation of the activation of Deion Jones. He was then added back to the practice squad, and now will be elevated from the practice squad for Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens.

It was already reported by The OBR’s Brad Stainbrook that cornerback Herb Miller would be elevated from the practice squad, and now we know the second player. While it was already reported that it was going to happen, linebacker Deion Jones has officially been activated from the Injured Reserve as well.

Browns tryout 3 safeties including Cincinnati Bearcats standout James Wiggins

The Browns had three safeties in for tryouts today, including former Cincinnati Bearcat James Wiggins

The secondary that is currently playing defense off of the coast of Lake Erie, and the Cleveland Browns may have had enough of it. Today, the Browns had three safeties in for tryouts, according to the league’s transaction memo. The most notable name of these tryouts was former Cincinnati Bearcats standout James Wiggins.

With the Baltimore Ravens up next in just two days, the Cleveland defense needs to turn it around to attempt to save their season. While these tryouts will not help that cause this week, the Browns bringing in three of one position is certainly a sign of displeasure.

We take a look at the three names here.

Browns elevating CB Herb Miller from practice squad vs. Ravens

The Browns are elevating Herb Miller from the practice squad for their bout with the Ravens

With cornerback Denzel Ward set to miss his second game due to a concussion, the Cleveland Browns are elevating Herb Miller from the practice squad for Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens according to The OBR’s Brad Stainbrook. Thus far on the season, Miller has been elevated from the practice squad twice, while playing during Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers as a member of the active roster.

While Miller has yet to play a defensive snap for the Browns, he has contributed on 38 snaps on special teams. Playing on all of kick coverage, kick return, punt coverage, and punt return, Miller will be an active man again this week when the kicking and punting teams take the field against the Ravens.

Browns sign LB Dakota Allen back to practice squad

After releasing him from the active roster earlier this week, the Browns have signed Dakota Allen back to their practice squad

After releasing him from the active roster earlier this week, the Cleveland Browns have signed linebacker Dakota Allen back to their practice squad. The Browns cleared a spot on their practice squad yesterday by releasing 2021 sixth round safety Richard LeCounte III from the practice squad.

Allen’s release from the active roster is almost a sure-sign signal that linebacker Deion Jones is going to be activated from Injured Reserve this week. Thus far this season, Allen has been elevated from the practice squad once, then signed to the active roster last week. Allen may once again get an opportunity to dress on gamedays for the Browns in 2022.
