It’s a solo edition of There’s A Gleam Podcast as Steve holds it down while John enjoys some well-earned time away in St. John. It's Taco Week in Cleveland, we set the stage before diving into a packed show full of Browns news, draft buzz, and AFC North intel.

The biggest storylines? Joel Bitonio is still weighing his future, Myles Garrett trade rumors continue to swirl (or not…), and draft speculation is heating up with names like Francis Mauigoa, Spencer Fano, and Carnell Tate linked to the Browns at No. 6. Plus—would you even consider that wild Denzel Ward trade idea?

We break down the AFC North in our “Know Your Enemy” segment, including draft strategies for the Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Baltimore Ravens, and how their draft capital stacks up against Cleveland.

In “Steve’s Two Minute Drill,” we hit the biggest headlines around sports—like Rory McIlroy making history at The Masters and the Cleveland Cavaliers gearing up for a playoff matchup with the Toronto Raptors.

We also preview our upcoming Browns Draft Party appearance in downtown Cleveland, react to the new draft hats (and their prices… seriously?), and discuss teams potentially looking to trade down—including the Browns.

Then in “The Land,” we spotlight Joey’s Avenue Eatery in Wickliffe and put their corned beef sandwich to the test against a Cleveland legend. Spoiler: it holds its own.

With the NFL Draft just 8 days away, excitement is building—and we tease a major announcement coming next week when John returns for our Mock Draft Special.

Let’s get the Gleam together.

The Gleam is rolling this week with Browns roster moves, AFC North drama, and John’s first 2026 mock draft.

Cleveland continues to build with purpose—adding depth, fixing special teams, and setting up for a huge draft with picks #6 and #24. We break down the latest moves, Jarvis Landry’s comments, the Browns Draft Party, and why wide receiver is clearly a priority based on Top-30 visits.

In AFC North Intel, the division is all over the place:
Steelers stuck waiting on Aaron Rodgers, Bengals bring back Joe Flacco, and the Ravens’ Maxx Crosby deal falls apart at the last second. Meanwhile… the Browns might actually be the most stable team in the division.

We also cover NFL news, including Logan Wilson’s retirement and a potential game-changing rule proposal from Cleveland that would allow teams to trade draft picks five years into the future.

Steve’s Two Minute Drill hits Guardians Opening Day, strikeout history, and a wild 50-year vow renewal from Alice Cooper.

Then it’s Draft Talk, as John unveils Mock Draft 1.0:
Carnell Tate to the Browns at #6, Monroe Freeling at #24—playmakers and protection.

Plus, we head Around The Land to Craggy’s Bogland Pub in Willoughby for Wing Day—because great football talk needs great food.

Let’s get the Gleam together.

The Browns aren’t making noise this offseason—they’re making moves. And on this week’s episode of There’s A Gleam Podcast, John and Steve break down a Cleveland roster that’s being reshaped right before our eyes.

From re-signing key pieces like Corey Bojorquez to adding depth with Jack Stoll, Kalia Davis, and Tre Avery, the guys walk through what each move means. But the real story might be who’s gone—Jack Conklin, David Njoku, and Wyatt Teller—all signaling a shift toward a younger, more flexible roster.

Then it’s time for AFC North Intel, where things are heating up fast. The Steelers are loading up, the Ravens made a monster move for Trey Hendrickson, and the Bengals are rebuilding their defense.

Around the league, it’s chaos—in the best way. We cover big-time trades, massive contracts, and one major question: is the NFL about to take over your entire Thanksgiving week?

With the NFL Draft just over a month away, we start connecting the dots between Browns needs and potential prospects, including early-round targets.

And we never forget about The Land, highlighting a local spot that’s worth checking out.

If you’re a Browns fan trying to make sense of the offseason—and have a little fun doing it—this episode’s for you.

Hit follow, share it out, and let’s get the Gleam together.
