Browns Plainly Podcast

The Browns' decision to trade wide receiver Amari Cooper on Tuesday means the spotlight falls to the receivers who were playing behind Cooper, specifically Jerry Jeudy, who the Browns acquired in the offseason.

Who will take on the burden of being the No. 1 receiver for the Browns and how will they handle it? Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe discuss the fallout of the Cooper trade one day later on Thursday’s Orange and Brown Talk podcast.

They also talk about the return of running back Nick Chubb and why the timing of Chubb’s return is perfect for a team that needs a vibes boost.

They wrap up by discussing NFL comissioner Roger Goodell saying the league is still investigating the latest claim against Deshaun Watson, even after the case was settled.
