Duke Johnson Will Report To Camp With Browns

Duke Johnson still wants to be traded, but will report to the start of training camp with the Cleveland Browns.

Johnson requested a trade after the Browns signed Kareem Hunt earlier this offseason.

Hunt is suspended for the first eight games of the season. The Browns would like Johnson to serve as the backup to Nick Chubb at least until then.

Drew Rosenhaus was in Cleveland on Tuesday meeting with Browns' brass about the running back.

Jul 19, 2019 8:16 AM

Baker Mayfield is excited for Odell Beckham to see what it will be like to play in front of real fans in Cleveland this season.

In making the comments, Mayfield implied that New York Giants' fans aren't as passionate.

"He's here to work, and he wants to be surrounded by people who love him and support him and allow him to be himself," Mayfield says. "He's here to play in front of fans who actually care, who will actually show up to every game and pack the stadium and love him for who he is."

Baker Mayfield Wanted 'Revenge' Against Hue Jackson

Jul 18, 2019 8:50 AM

Baker Mayfield says that beating the Cincinnati Bengals was a highlight of his rookie season.

Mayfield was critical of Hue Jackson for joining the Bengals after being fired by the Cleveland Browns.

"I'm not gonna lie to you and say that the first time I played Hue did not feel good. It's human nature to want to get revenge," the quarterback said.

Mayfield called Jackson "fake" when he joined Cincinnati.

"I said what I meant," he said. "Don't stand up in front of us the week before and try to tell us you're doing everything for us, then go take a job with a team we play twice a year. It was one of those honesty and respect things."

David Njoku Wants '20 Touchdowns This Year'

Jul 3, 2019 10:18 AM

The Cleveland Browns have a number of offensive weapons, including Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry.

Heading into his third season, David Njoku could become one of the NFL's best young tight ends.

On the Rich Eisen Show, Njoku said he has lofty goals for 2019.

"Honestly speaking, I don't really put numbers into my goals," Njoku told Eisen. "I just feel like if I gave everything I could to the game, just worked my hardest, I feel like I'll feel accomplished."

"With that being said, I want 20 touchdowns this year," Njoku added laughing before going back to his canned responses. "I just feel, for me, just knowing that I gave all I got will make me feel accomplished."

Only two players in NFL history have topped 20 scores.
