Original Title: [Princiotti] “Meanwhile, the Browns will have to woo a new coach to a team that has no clear long-term answer at quarterback and an entrenched personnel regime that seems to call more shots than the coaching staff.”
The current state of affairs for the Browns:
The two highest-paid players on the roster are Watson and Myles Garrett, the latter of whom requested a trade less than a year ago and stayed only after Haslam cut him a giant check. Offensive lineman Joel Bitonio, a core leader at a position of need, may retire this offseason. There are major holes across the offensive line and at receiver. Oh, and the team still owes Watson, who didn’t play in 2025 while recovering from multiple surgeries to repair an injured Achilles tendon, $46 million—and if they cut him, they’ll take on $131 million in dead cap charges.
So, who’s desperate enough to want this job?
