Browns Plainly Podcast

Browns GM Andrew Berry said at the Senior Bowl on Tuesday that he wasn’t going to trade edge rusher Myles Garrett and is open to an extension of the team’s star edge rusher.

Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe start Tuesday’s Orange and Brown Talk podcast by talking about Garrett’s future in Cleveland and if he could become the first non-quarterback to get a fully guaranteed deal and the case he could make to be that guy.

They also discuss what the pitch to Garrett could have been to keep him happy and how the Browns will solve their quarterback problem to get Garrett to the Super Bowl.

Lastly, they talk about Deion Sanders and why Berry was confident that he would be fine with his son, Shedeur, playing in Cleveland.

It was a very Jalen Milroe day in NFL Draft discourse. The former Alabama quarterback earned a comparison to Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and he spoke at the Senior Bowl in Mobile.

Mary Kay Cabot is in Mobile and she checked in with Dan Labbe on Monday night to talk Milroe and the Browns and what she learned on her first day at the draft’s first big event.

Mary Kay and Dan discuss Milroe and if the Browns or another team will fall enough in love with him to do all the necessary things to make him their quarterback on Monday's Orange and Brown Talk podcast.

They also talk about former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who was at East-West Shrine Game practices this weekend, and if the Browns would be willing to take on him and his dad, Deion.

They wrap up by talking about Senior Bowl Executive Director Jim Nagy’s comments about this year’s quarterback class.

The Browns introduced new offensive coordinator Tommy Rees on Thursday, but head coach Kevin Stefanski started the day by announcing he was taking back play-calling after giving it up midway through last season.

Is taking it back the right move for Stefanski or should he let his new, young offensive coordinator handle the duties?

Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe discuss Stefanski’s decision to start Thursday’s Orange and Brown Talk podcast.

Then they move onto Rees' introductory press conference and get into why they think Stefanski made this move and what this means for the Browns at the quarterback position, especially as it pertains to the draft.

They also talk a little about what’s leaking out regarding the draft and what they do and don’t believe.

Let’s be honest: everyone has quarterbacks on the brain when it comes to the Browns and this Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast is no different.

Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe start the podcast, however, by talking offensive coordinator candidates and how this search could shake out.

Then they dive into the Deshaun Watson situation and if there’s anything to the idea that the Browns could try and get some of the guaranteed money back if his re-rupture of his Achilles occurred while doing something he shouldn’t have been doing.

There’s a draft, too, by the way, and the Browns have the No. 2 pick. Is there a quarterback worth taking No. 2 overall in this draft and do the Browns have to take a quarterback?
