What happened: Albert Breer's latest report runs through three NFL threads: an appreciation of Joel Bitonio's 12-year run in Cleveland, the Browns' unsettled quarterback competition, and the leaguewide fallout from the Brendan Sorsby situation. Bitonio spent all 12 of his NFL seasons with the Browns before stepping away.

Why it matters: The quarterback picture matters most for Cleveland heading into the 2026 season, with the job framed as an open competition rather than a settled depth chart. Bitonio's departure also removes a longtime anchor from the offensive line, adding to the questions in front of whoever wins the starting role.

What to watch: Watch how the Browns' quarterback reps shake out through the rest of the offseason program and how the Sorsby fallout develops across the league.
