Seven months, two rebuilt lines and three quarterbacks
An old-money Ohio shipping family bought the Browns in November, fired the coach and the general
manager on the same January morning, ran a full search with a real firm and real candidates — and then
gave both jobs to a 28-year-old who had never coached or played. He released Deshaun Watson the next
day, said out loud why, and left $117.6 million in dead money on the 2026 cap. What followed: the Brook
Park move cancelled, both lines rebuilt inside six weeks, a tackle taken ninth against every public
board, a receiver traded up for at ten, and Myles Garrett to the Rams on June 1. Camp is open in Berea
with three quarterbacks and no starter named.
