Browns cornerback Greg Newsome II wants to be in Cleveland long-term, even with free agency looming after this season. He’ll have a chance to make his case in 2025, but his role is still up in the air.

The Browns will have to make decisions sooner on some other players who have been around a while — while they wait on the decision of their longest-tenured player about his future.

Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe look to the future on a number of Browns free agents on Thursday’s Orange and Brown Talk podcast after they discuss Newsome’s future with the team.

They talk about Jedrick Wills Jr., Nick Chubb, Joel Bitonio and Jameis Winston and whether they will be around for a little while longer or if their time in a Browns uniform is over.

The Browns will go on the clock early in Round of the 2025 NFL Draft and it won't take long to know what they think of the top of this quarterback class. Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe talk through what could happen on Tuesday's edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast.

They start by discussing Cam Ward's comments about teams passing on him regretting it.

Then they get into two Browns-only mock drafts, one Ashley put up on Tuesday and another Dan put up on Saturday. They went in opposite directions at quarterback and edge rusher and they discuss their reasoning.

What would the reaction be if the Browns passed on a quarterback? How would they solve the position if they don't do at No. 2 overall? Who are some of their veteran options?

They get into all of it on this podcast.

The Browns will certainly take a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft and could very well take one at No. 2 overall. Should they take more than one quarterback?

It’s one of the questions Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe answer on the latest Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast.

Would they take more than one quarterback in the draft? Which player currently on the roster could break out in 2025? Do the Browns need to prioritize running back this offseason given the direction the offense appears headed?

They answer those questions and more in the latest podcast.

There could be another veteran quarterback option for the Browns now that the Jets have decided to move on from Aaron Rodgers. Would they have an interest in the former league MVP and Super Bowl champ to start for them next season?

That's where Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe start in their latest Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast. They talk through why the Browns might consider Rodgers and why they might decide to avoid pursuing him.

They also dig more into the Myles Garrett trade request and the fallout from his media tour Super Bowl week and what he had to say in a week full of interviews. Is there any coming back from what he had to say? Are they more or less convinced he'll actually get traded?

They also try to predict what the Browns quarterback room will look like in 2025 and discuss the rookie quarterback options.
