CLEVELAND BROWNS

Baker Mayfield’s rocky run with the Cleveland Browns has officially ended.

Deshaun Watson was accused of harassing or assaulting more than two dozen women. The Cleveland Browns signed him to a contract worth two hundred and thirty million dollars.

The NFL insisted on an indefinite suspension while Deshaun Watson’s legal team argued there’s no basis for that punishment as both sides presented their cases in front of a retired judge in Delaware on Tuesday, two people in attendance told The Associated Press.

Watson could still be suspended if the NFL determines he violated the league's personal conduct policy.

Watson has been accused by massage therapists of harassing, assaulting or touching them during appointments when he was playing for the Houston Texans.

Former Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn has a new title and role with the Cleveland Browns, the team announced Thursday. Quinn was hired as a senior consultant to Cleveland’s football operations department last summer. Now, Quinn will serve as the franchise’s senior personnel and coaching executive. The Browns announced seven new hires to their front office, with promotions or role changes for 13 existing executives.

Already at odds with Baker Mayfield, the Cleveland Browns are choosing not to get into a public fight with him. No longer part of Cleveland's future, Mayfield is not participating in the team's voluntary offseason program as the team tries to work out a trade to get rid of the 2018 No. 1 overall draft pick. On Wednesday, coach Kevin Stefanski was reluctant to address the polarizing QB at all.

Deshaun Watson reported for his first offseason program with the Browns, who mortgaged their future in acquiring the controversial quarterback in a trade.

A person familiar with the negotiations tells AP that Pro Bowl cornerback Denzel Ward has agreed to a five-year, $100.5 million contract extension with the Cleveland Browns.

They also guaranteed Watson $230 million to get the Pro Bowl quarterback to agree to the terms, more money than any team has ever guaranteed any player in NFL history. “We have a quarterback,” team president Rod Wood said during a chat with a small group of reporters in a courtyard here at The Breakers hotel in Palm Beach, Fla. “We were never in the game for that. Wood said the Lions would pursue players with red flags on a case-by-case basis, but did not want to get specific about why they were never serious about Watson. “Certainly we’re going to look into everything and we’re going to avoid certain types of behaviors,” Wood said. A different situation might have a different result.”Cephus was found not guilty of two charges of sexual assault in 2019.

New Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson maintained his innocence and strongly denied committing any sexual misconduct despite allegations made by 22 women against him.

The Cleveland Browns signed the quarterback despite many allegations of sexual misconduct.

The Cleveland Browns released center JC Tretter, who was recently re-elected as president of the NFL Players Association, while the team accelerated its pursuit of controversial quarterback Deshaun Watson. Tretter spent five seasons with Cleveland as a dependable leader and anchor of one of the league's best offensive lines. Tretter also played a major role in the union setting protocols with the league during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pittsburgh is still in the hunt for a second consecutive playoff berth with wins in three of their last five games. The loss is the Ravens’ fourth-straight defeat, and third without star quarterback Lamar Jackson, who might miss Sunday’s game as well.

Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield moved a step closer to playing against Aaron Rodgers on Christmas.

The NFL’s chief medical officer says asymptomatic players are not spreading COVID-19 based on his observations during this season.

Both Saints veteran quarterbacks, Taysom Hill and Trevor Siemian, Minnesota star running back Dalvin Cook and Cleveland center JC Tretter, the NFL Players Association president, tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday.

With a surge of COVID-19 cases threatening to disrupt the NFL season, the league discussed canceling three games last week for the first time since the pandemic began.

The Cleveland Browns got their coach back on the sideline.

Daniel Carlson’s 48-yard field goal as time expired sent the Las Vegas Raiders to a 16-14 win over the COVID-19-depleted Cleveland Browns in a game pushed back two days by the NFL amid an uptick of virus cases across the league.

Gifted two days by the NFL to maybe get healthier, the Browns prepared for a game they expected to play Saturday.

Only unvaccinated players and those experiencing possible symptoms of COVID-19 will be tested starting Sunday under the NFL’s revised protocols.

The Browns got a welcomed reprieve after days of positive COVID-19 tests.

The NFL has moved three games because of COVID-19 outbreaks: Las Vegas at Cleveland from Saturday to Monday; and Seattle at the Los Angeles Rams and Washington at Philadelphia from Sunday to Tuesday.

A person familiar with the situation tells the AP that Browns backup quarterback Case Keenum, who was slotted to start Saturday with Baker Mayfield sidelined after testing positive with COVID-19, has also tested positive for the virus.

Games were postponed in the NHL and NBA as stars were sidelined by COVID exposure, while 94 NFL players tested positive since Monday. Now, leagues are moving to strengthen safety measures.

Baltimore coach John Harbaugh says Lamar Jackson will not practice Wednesday, although the star quarterback remains a possibility to play this weekend.

The Browns’ COVID-19 outbreak has widened and worsened.

The Cleveland Browns were placed in enhanced COVID-19 protocols Tuesday following some new positive cases that could impact who is available to play in Saturday's game against Las Vegas. The team is continuing to test and has not yet disclosed the names of any new players testing positive. Cleveland was without three starters for Sunday's win over Baltimore because of positive results last week. The Browns (7-6), who remain in the thick of a tight playoff race in the AFC, host the Raiders (6-7) on Saturday.

Baker Mayfield threw two touchdown passes, Myles Garrett scored his first career TD and the Cleveland Browns stayed in the thick of the playoff race, surviving Baltimore’s late comeback for a 24-22 win.

Baltimore star quarterback Lamar Jackson suffered a right ankle injury against the Browns, yet another significant injury for the banged-up, first-place Ravens.

The Ravens lead the AFC North after a series of close wins, while the Steelers continue to struggle.

Joe Bachie, Cincinnati BengalsBachie saw his largest workload of the season in the Bengals’ 41-10 win over the Steelers. He played 23 defensive plays and 20 special teams plays, recording two tackles in the second half.

'Relentless,' Kevin Stefanski says of the Browns' defense against Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. "It stings," he said of his offense.

Lamar Jackson provided one brilliant highlight during an otherwise subpar performance and his 13-yard touchdown pass to Mark Andrews in the third quarter was enough to lift the Baltimore Ravens to a 16-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns.

CLEVELAND -- The Detroit Lions lost 13-10 to the Cleveland Browns in Week 11, with the passing attack hitting new lows amid another strong showing from their defense. The first interception happened near the red zone after an early interception put the Lions in great field position. Boyle’s second interception came on a deep shot for Josh Reynolds, with Browns cornerback Denzel Ward making a play. It’s worth noting Boyle didn’t go too many chances, not even with the game on the line in the final minutes. Boyle averaged 0.9 air yards per completion in the loss, with the passing attack taking a step back.

A change at quarterback did nothing, and the Detroit Lions were plagued by many of the same problems they've had all season.

CLEVELAND -- The Detroit Lions are back in the losing column, with another toothless showing through the air in their 13-10 loss on the road against the Cleveland Browns in Week 11. Detroit’s offense didn’t reach the red zone once, with Boyle’s longest pass going for 24 yards to tight end T.J. Hockenson. This loss moves Detroit’s winless streak to 14 games, with the Lions failing to score 20 points in all but one game this season. This offense has scored more than 20 points only once, needing two successful onside kicks and a pair of two-point conversions in their Week 1 loss. Chubb ran 22 times for 130 yards, putting the game on ice with three first-down runs down the stretch.

CLEVELAND -- The Detroit Lions are starting down another cold, wet and sloppy road matchup within the AFC North in Week 11, drawing the Cleveland Browns.

Last week, the Detroit Lions got as close as they have all season to winning a game, but oddsmakers don’t expect that momentum to carry over to this week’s game against the Cleveland Browns. On the season, Detroit is 5-4 against the spread, but 2-1 in games where it entered as double-digit underdogs. The over/under on the game is remarkably consistent with all six oddmakers we researched offering it at 42.5 points.

The Steelers, Ravens, Browns, and Bengals all face issues heading into Week 11, but also get favorable matchups.

ALLEN PARK -- This weekend’s matchup between the Detroit Lions and Cleveland Browns looks like a landmine-filled disaster for fantasy football players in Week 11. Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield says he’s the most beat up he’s been through his career, dealing with a torn labrum, knee contusion and sore foot. Kareem Hunt has already been ruled out. If that wasn’t enough, receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones tweaked his groin this week while Jarvis Landry isn’t practicing with a knee injury. Nick Chubb was activated from the COVID list on Friday morning.

The starting quarterback is injured and won't be close to 100% — if he even plays. The passing game isn't producing nearly enough big plays or points and the season has grown desperate.
