- If Joel Bitonio retires, impact on Browns salary cap is probably not what you think (Jared Mueller)\u00a0– The Cleveland Browns salary cap is a wild ride of accounting but Joel Bitonio retiring would not help it.<\/li>\n

Despite that, NFL rumors have been flying since before last season even ended.

- Report of new Browns alternate helmet leads to some interesting fan-created options (Jared Mueller)\u00a0– In the last few seasons, the Cleveland Browns have been able to toe the line between new and respecting tradition when it comes to the team\u2019s helmets.

Cleveland Browns:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- What about Browns attaching Deshaun Watson to a Myles Garrett deal? (Terry Pluto)\u00a0– I\u2019ve been getting emails about the Browns attaching Deshaun Watson to any deal involving Myles Garrett. Let\u2019s assume they do decide to deal the elite pass rusher.

Aidan Hutchinson and Browns DE have talked about a team up (Beacon Journal)\u00a0– Teams are salivating over the prospect of Myles Garrett being traded from the Cleveland Browns and so are individual players apparently.

(ESPN)\u00a0– Following a season in which the Chiefs went through four left tackles and allowed Patrick Mahomes to be sacked six times in their\u00a0Super Bowl\u00a0LIX loss to the\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles, there\u2019s little doubt about where the team\u2019s priorities lie as it prepares for this year\u2019s scouting combine.<\/li>\n
