On your Thursday edition of Browns Film Breakdown, Jake and Brad open the show by discussing Wyatt Teller’s letter to Browns fans announcing he will not return in 2026, what his departure means for Cleveland’s offensive line, and how the organization may look to replace both his production and leadership. They also cover reports out of New England that Browns safeties coach Ephraim Banda interviewed for the Patriots’ defensive coordinator position, what that interest says about his league reputation, and the potential impact on Cleveland’s defensive staff continuity. The guys then examine recent Todd McShay speculation linking C.J. Stroud to the Browns, breaking down the realism of that scenario and what it would take for Cleveland to pursue a move of that magnitude. In the second half of the show, they continue the offseason roster evaluation with a full interior offensive line review from the 2025 season where some key parts might return but this is likely to look very different next season. Once again the focus is on three review subjects: Grade each player’s performance from 2025 with context. Focus growth areas for the next season. Which player(s) from the position excites you most? Then a close with two burning questions looking ahead: Do the Browns bring back more than two of their current iOL rostered players? Do the Browns sign an iOL player with more than $20M guaranteed in the FA cycle? We will get to each position room in the weeks ahead as we start planning for Free Agency and more.
