Cleveland Browns

The city has filed a state law suit against the Browns, invoking the Modell Law. The state law puts up obstacles for teams wishing to leave taxpayer-funded facilities.

The Browns have insurance that protects Watson’s contract. If he's out for the season, they can recoup some money and get some salary-cap relief.

Deshaun Watson's setback in his recovery from an Achilles injury could cost him the 2025 season, giving the Browns a chance to move on, at least on the field.

State lawmakers will likely be asked by the owners of the Cleveland Browns to help fund part of a $2.4 billion domed stadium and a billion dollars in hotels, housing and other development in Brook Park.

The Browns said Monday that Deshaun Watson suffered a setback in his recovery from an Achilles tendon rupture, and don't know if he'll be available in 2025.

Named for the former Browns owner who moved the team to Baltimore in 1996, the Modell law requires Ohio owners whose teams play in taxpayer-funded stadiums to get permission from their home city or give six-month notice with a chance for the city or an investor “in the area” to offer to buy the team.

All three Cleveland franchises made major headlines in 2022. It's worked out quite well for two of them.

Changes at quarterback and play caller give Browns a win and the Donovan family a game ball.

The NFL team said Thursday it has filed a lawsuit in federal court asking for clarification of the "Modell Law," which the city has threatened to use to keep the Browns from leaving after their lease at lakefront Huntington Bank Field expires in 2028.
