Ndamukong Suh Not On Browns Radar

Reports that the Cleveland Browns are interested in five-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh appear to be unfounded.

Deshaun Watson Optimistic He'll Play This Year

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson's camp remains optimistic that he'll see the field in 2022.
