Browns: 2025 Season & 2026 Offseason
Cleveland went 5-12 in 2025 and missed the playoffs again, leading to the firing of coach Kevin Stefanski and the hiring of Todd Monken in 2026. The lone bright spot was Myles Garrett, who set the NFL single-season sack record with 23 and won Defensive Player of the Year; heading into 2026 the Browns have an open quarterback competition between Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders, and Dillon Gabriel.
2025 season: 5-12 · 4th AFC North.
