Overview

• Jimmy Haslam dismissed speculation that the Browns are targeting Texas quarterback Arch Manning in the 2026 NFL Draft as “not worth discussing.”
• The owner predicted Manning will remain at Texas for at least two more collegiate seasons, reflecting the Manning family’s usual trajectory.
• Haslam reaffirmed his conditional support for head coach Kevin Stefanski and GM Andrew Berry while stressing they must improve on last season’s 3–14 record.
• Cleveland’s two first-round picks in the 2026 draft had fueled quarterback rumors, though Haslam indicated neither pick is likely to be used on Manning next year.
