This Texans offseason wasn’t like that of the last two offseasons. Significant players have willingly signed with Houston. Is this the start of their turnaround?
Student reporter asks Gronk a question, Gronk asks him what university he's from, student reporter answers, Gronk replies: "What are you guys doing tonight?"
I asked Odell Beckham Jr. about his future beyond Sunday and if he’d sacrifice salary to stick with the Rams. The answer was a quick “yeah, of course!” with a smile.
“This place, it feels good in my heart. It feels like a home.”
Freddie Kitchens emphasizes Odell Beckham's contributions that didn't land in the stat sheet: "If you want to know about Odell Beckham, put on those plays where Jarvis Landry is 40, 50 yards down the field and Odell is right there trying to block to get him into the end zone."
As the unreal Pat Mahomes TD pass video circulates the Twitterverse, here's the

visualization. It looks like a video game throw here, too.
Odell Beckham Jr. says he always talks to Bill Belichick before and after the game when facing the Patriots, and Belichick always says the same thing to him: “I hope you enjoy today because there’s not going to be much for you.”
I've never wanted to be the "some personal news" guy, but....
I'm incredibly excited to announce I've accepted a position as digital content coordinator with the

My last day with

is Monday, so get your angry tweets off while you still can!
The hero you all knew and loved was just a sliver of who Wess was. We could fill a thousand tweets tonight alone. He taught me the meaning of inimitable...and he’s irreplaceable. Rest easy, Wess. Love you,

"We were calling it before it even happened. When Damon Sheehy's name was called to go back to punt return, we were all standing up. He was telling us that he could run a 4.3, and we told him that we haven't seen that all camp, but it looked like he ran a 4.3 to me." -Higgins

Monken says NFL came back to Browns and said illegal blindside block called on Greg Robinson early in Week 1 should not have been called upon further review.
The trade deadline is behind us, but I’m on the move. A dream of mine becomes reality when I return to

This is wild and improbable, and involves an NFL hopeful who was sleeping on a patch of grass next to a gym a little over a week ago.

Mack Wilson's incredible week has reached its peak. The rookie linebacker just picked off a pass floated by Haskins and returned it for a touchdown, stiff-arming Haskins as he crossed the goal line
Nick Chubb, Joe Schobert, Damion Ratley and Chomps visited University Hospitals’ Seidman Cancer Center today. Patient and passionate Browns fan Mary Lauderdale got a photo with the group, but only after telling them “I’ll love you forever”

Freddie Kitchens is pleased with the play of rookie LB Mack Wilson, who has started the last two games in place of the injured Christian Kirksey: "I think he's doing a great job. I think he's going to continue to do a great job and continue to get better."
Nick Chubb leads the league in rushing yards gained over expectation with +271.
Dalvin Cook is next closest with +222 -- on 104 more carries.
Chubb is on another planet.
I tweeted yesterday Andrew Berry is crushing it and now, honestly, I’m at a loss for description of his Day 3 picks. Harris and DPJ in the fifth and sixth rounds is tremendous value.
Kareem Hunt says he’s been a Browns fan for his entire life. Playing for the Browns has “been a dream driving down (Interstate) 90 (toward FirstEnergy Stadium).”
Browns DC Steve Wilks ends his media session by responding to a question about the environment at FirstEnergy Stadium, which he says is very loud and hopes will cause some issues for the visiting Rams on Sunday night
Odell Beckham Jr. says fight at the end of tonight’s game overshadowed Browns’ win, expresses support for Myles Garrett, acknowledges what he did was wrong and also admits “it does feel like we lost the game”
Browns' defensive front causing problems yet again. Stuffed a first-down run, Vernon with a second-down sack and Richardson with a third-down sack to make it fourth-and-26. More of what we've seen for weeks from this group.
If you're calling that Church hit on Gronk dirty, I'm laughing at you. That's part of the game. Helmet-to-helmet contact was incidental and flagged correctly, but that's nowhere near dirty.
Ravens are officially the scariest team nobody wants to play. Coincidentally also a team that is going overlooked by the majority of the league, making it a prime candidate for the postseason run to the Super Bowl.

@NextGenStats
insight here: JOK was 4.39 yards away from Collin Johnson in the first frame. He closed that gap in 1.3 seconds to tackle Johnson for no gain, registering the top speed of any player on the field at 14.79 mph.
He went from 2.09 mph to 14.79 mph in 1.8 seconds.
Josh McCown once broke his collarbone while trying to will the Browns to a meaningless Monday night win over the Ravens. He also once launched his body into oncoming goal-line traffic in Week 1. If you think he's not going to lay it all on the line tonight, you're crazy.

“When I saw (the addition of Beckham to his trade to CLE), I said good. They have a plan.” -Olivier Vernon on his excited reaction to the eventual package deal that brought him to the Browns
Jersey numbers for new arrivals to the Browns:
Taywan Taylor: 10
Justin McCray: 67
Wyatt Teller: 77
Malik Jefferson: 40
KhaDarel Hodge: 12
Ricky Seals-Jones: 83
Shelton Gibson: 17
The launch ratings for
@EAMaddenNFL
are out. Baker Mayfield is T-11th in QB ratings in the NFL at 83 overall, and he's 10th on the Browns. Cleveland's top 10:
Kitchens explaining Monday night's result: "Contrary to popular belief, we had our chances, and we didn't do it. ... The people that matter are the ones that recognize it. We'll move on and get better. ... We're not panicking. We're going to line up and play the next game."
Freddie Kitchens acknowledges what the staff has learned from last night after reviewing the film and is encouraged by what's ahead: "This is a continual climb to where we want to go and where we want to be. ... Collectively, we will get there."
These are winners. Those are the jerseys the Browns should wear forever, and the carryover of updated helmet (sans carbon fiber in brown stripes) and inclusion of the former Color Rush pants is excellent. The home run, of course, is the return of the socks. 10/10.
Linebacker Clay Matthews on how he reacted to his upcoming induction into the Browns' Ring of Honor: "I was completely surprised. There are some powerful figures in that Ring of Honor."
Browns defense having an excellent day in team sessions. DL causing problems on first and second team, so much that Colts OL were flagged three times for false starts during the period
Caught up with Jarvis Landry today and talked about his hip injury. He said he played through the entire season with it, battling through it to still rack up 1,174 yds, but felt like he could've "easily" had 1,500 if healthy. Said he's "out of the deep water" and focused on rehab
Browns players traveled to schools all over Cleveland today as part of
