Browns Plainly Podcast

The Browns and GM Andrew Berry are never shy about adding talent, so naturally their name will crop up when a player like Brandon Aiyuk potentially becomes available. Would they really be in the mix of San Francisco decided to trade the wide receiver?

Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe begin Sunday’s Orange and Brown Talk podcast by discussing Aiyuk, if there’s a real possibility it could happen and if it would be worth giving up Amari Cooper to get it done.

Then they look back at the day at training camp and talk about what they saw from Jerry Jeudy in his return to team drills. They also talk about Deshaun Watson and what he showed them hitting a few deep passes during practice.

They wrap up the podcast by talking Denzel Ward and the cornerback’s start to training camp.

Browns training camp is always about competition and players proving themselves and Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe prepare for camp this week by picking out three players with plenty to prove this summer.

Obviously, Deshaun Watson is one, so they pass on another quarterback discussion for now and pick three different players, including two wide receivers and a defensive player who may not have to prove he belongs but still has to prove where he belongs.

They kick off the podcast with a little talk about The Greenbrier, where the Browns are starting camp for the second year in a row, and their experience there last year and what they're expecting this year as they venture into the depths of West Virginia.
