Browns Plainly Podcast

Cleveland City Councilman Brian Kazy inserted himself and city council into the Browns stadium discussions on Monday, invoking the "Art Modell Law" in calling for the Browns to remain in Cleveland.

Last week, Dee and Jimmy Haslam took their turn to discuss their options when it comes to either updating or replacing Cleveland Browns Stadium.

Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe discussed the Browns' stadium options on Monday's Orange and Brown Talk Podcast. They talked about the "Art Modell Law" and why it's coming up and how it might be used.

They also talk about a potential move to Brook Park and if it really matters if the Browns are within the city limits of Cleveland or a few minutes outside of city limits.

They even take some time to discuss some of the favorite stadiums they've visited and more.

With the calendar now hitting April and most of the free agent pool dried it up it's becoming clearer as to what the best options are for the Cleveland Browns at pick 54.

If Andrew Berry is looking for the best possible investment and impact from that pick it comes to down to defensive line or an offensive skill position player.

Cleveland drafted defensive tackle Siaki Ika and defensive end Isiah McGuire just last year but either of them could face stiff competition from an incoming rookie.

The skill group on offense lines up well with the Cleveland top selection of 54, they could even find the eventual successor to running back Nick Chubb.

The offseason is flying by and we're only about two weeks away from the Cleveland Browns beginning the voluntary portion of their offseason.

In this Friday episode of the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast. Mary Kay Cabot and Ashley Bastock go through the ins and outs of the offseason program that begin on April 15.

The two discuss each of the three phases and what teams can do during each as they work their way up to offense vs. defense drills

The two also discuss what they think will be the biggest story of the offseason for the Browns offense: How Deshaun Watson continues to progress post-shoulder surgery.

But it’s not just about their QB1. What will we see from new backups, Jameis Winston and Tyler Huntley? How will Winston and Watson work together?

And what about the guys catching their passes? What will Jerry Jeudy look like, and how important is his relationship with Amari Cooper going to be? Mary Kay and Ashley discuss the receivers' relationship that goes back to their native south Florida as well as their shared alma mater: Alabama.

Finally, what does Jeudy’s addition mean for returner Elijah Moore? What’s at stake for him in his second year in Cleveland?

Was there an update on star running back Nick Chubb's contract when Andrew Berry spoke at the NFL annual meetings earlier this week?

That's one of the questions our Football Insider subscribers had on Thursday's Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast.

Mary Kay Cabot and Ashley Bastock discuss what Berry said about a possible re-working of Nick Chubb’s contract, his rehab over the next three months, and the makeup of the Browns’ running back room.

The two also discuss the decision for the Browns to keep four quarterbacks on their roster currently, and why that has become commonplace for them.

And what about Berry’s draft strategy? The two talk about whether they think it’s more likely for the Browns GM to trade up or trade back, and they re-assess the 2023 class.

They also talk about the Browns defense, and the decision to essentially run it back without a major new addition to the defensive line. Could that lead to some more breakdowns like we saw in 2023?

Finally, they go over some of their new favorite Cleveland spots ahead of a couple of big events in Cleveland: The Women’s Final Four and the solar eclipse.

After the contract details were revealed for D'onta Foreman and Nyheim Hines it's become pretty clear that the Browns could still be very much interested in drafting a running back come April. Foreman's one year deal has a very low dead cap hit which could drive him off the roster if Andrew Berry chooses to bring in a younger alternative.

The tight end room seems a ghost town after David Njoku and it doesn't look like the draft offers much help in improving it.

Andrew Berry with an extension looming can continue to build the roster with the present in mind while also making moves towards it's future.

On this Wednesday edition of the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast, Ashley Bastock and Mary Kay Cabot finish recapping everything Browns-related from the NFL annual meetings in Orlando.

First, the two discuss the NFL’s impending announcement on the league’s first-ever Brazil game. Will the Browns play abroad against the Eagles to open the season or will it be the Green Bay Packers? We could know as soon as this week, but what we do know is that it's down to those two teams.

Then, they get into the big news from Browns GM Andrew Berry: How Nick Chubb’s recovery is going. Mary Kay gives some insight on the next step into Chubb’s rehab from his season-ending knee injury that required two surgeries: load running. The two also discuss how the next three months will be key in determining Chubb’s availability for the beginning of the season, and the roles of the new running backs in the room.

Amari Cooper was also a big topic of discussion for Berry, and what he had to say about the possibility of extending their No. 1 wide receiver. It seems like it’s inevitable at this point for multiple reasons, including a cap standpoint, the wide receiver market as a whole, and how valuable he has been in Cleveland.

Mary Kay and Ashley also discuss what Berry had to say about Deshaun Watson’s recovery and another indication he gave that the quarterback’s rehab from season-ending shoulder surgery is going well.

Finally, the two discuss the trade deadline moving back one week, and how it wasn’t exactly what the Browns proposed ahead of the league's annual meetings, but is still a good compromise.

It's the big story for the Cleveland Browns in the years to come: What's going to happen with their stadium?

On this episode of the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast Ashley Bastock checks in with Mary Kay Cabot from the NFL annual meetings in Orlando and discuss everything Browns owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam said regarding the possibilities of renovation and relocation.

The two discuss the change in tone from the Haslams compared to a year ago, when they said they were firmly committed to renovating Cleveland Browns stadium on the lakefront. Now, the Haslams say, they are also open to building a dome stadium in Brook Park.

Mary Kay and Ashley discuss both options and what they might mean, as well as the possible rippling impacts of both, and how neither seems to be outwardly favored over the other

In addition to the stadium's future, the two also delve into the other big topic for the Browns owners: extensions for GM Andrew Berry and head coach Kevin Stefanski that are imminent.

Finally, the two touch on what NFL commissioner Roger Goodell had to say about the NFL's first ever Brazil game, and the Browns being one of two teams in the running to face the Philadelphia Eagles abroad.

The NFL delivered the rule changes for the 2024 season, and while the new kick off rule and the no hip drop tackle rule aim to make the game safer playing games on Christmas day on a Wednesday seem very contradictory.

It seems the Browns who are truly in best player available mode for the draft will target defensive tackle or wide receiver with their first selection.

Contract extensions are coming for both Kevin Stefanski and Andrew Berry and are very well deserved.

Also Nick Chubb takes the next step in the rehab process.
