Jimmy and Dee Haslam’s picks for GM and head coach finally stabilized Cleveland. Plus, Drew Lock’s sneaky bid to win the Giants QB job, Tom Brady Night in New England and more in this week’s takeaways.
Take a good look at where the Cleveland Browns were going into that offseason. It’d been 12 years since the last time they had finished .500 or better, 17 years since their last playoff appearance and 25 years since their last playoff win. They were hiring their fifth head coach and fifth general manager in eight offseasons. During that span, they had 0–16, 1–15, 3–13 and 4–12 records, and a raft of high first-round picks washed out.
That the Haslams hired them in tandem the following January, to me at least, felt like more of the same for a lost franchise. It was nothing against Berry or Stefanski—I liked both. It was just that, at least on the surface, this was a team that needed a detonation, not a double-down.Turns out, they were right about Berry, whom he’d had in his building for three seasons and had become one of the best GMs in football and is still just 37.
• The Giants offered their 2025 first-round pick to move up from the sixth to the third pick in the NFL draft in an effort to land North Carolina QB Drake Maye. They were rebuffed by the Patriots, and took receiver Malik Nabers rather than reach for J.J. McCarthy or Michael Penix Jr. While they weren’t desperate to move on from Jones, they certainly aren’t married to seeing his contract through, either.
“I come out of that experience and I’m sitting in the hospital, and I go back into my daily life and I’m like, ‘Pretty clear, I almost just lost my life, and I don’t know if I really feel if I would have died that I would have felt great about how my life was going if I died at that time,’” Waller said on a video on his Instagram page.Waller did say he’s “eternally grateful for the game of football,” but that his passion for the game wasn’t what it has been.
And all four are indicative of something the Packers—for all the bellyaching over the years about their lack of investment in the position—have done well forever. There was plenty of speculation on the friction the past couple of years between the Bills’ star quarterback and receiver, but both always maintained they were good with each other. And Diggs drove the point home last week after he was asked for the first time since being traded to Houston about his relationship with Allen.“Because at that point when I left Minnesota, I was a good player, but I more for myself, I felt like I was better than that, that I could be better than that,” Diggs said.
was accused in a lawsuit of sending sexually explicit content to the then underage son of an ex-girlfriend, according to a court filing obtained Thursday night byPer the filing, Howard sent the content to the son “because refused to get an abortion.” The attorneys for a separate woman who sued Howard in 2023—alleging he shared explicit videos of her without her consent—are attempting to have the 18-year-old added to that lawsuit as a plaintiff.
Eventually, Johnson and Jones got to an amicable place. I hope Belichick and Kraft do, too. It just takes time and, until they have that time, we’re all going to see the obvious.Haason Reddick’s handling of the offseason program is a sign of evolving times for veteran players.
