Overview

  • Haslam told reporters that he does not think targeting Arch Manning in the 2026 draft is worth discussing and believes the quarterback will stay at Texas for two more seasons.
  • The Browns owner reiterated his confidence in head coach Kevin Stefanski and general manager Andrew Berry but emphasized they must improve on last year’s 3-14 finish.
  • Under Stefanski and Berry, Cleveland holds a 40-44 record over five seasons, raising the stakes for the upcoming 2025 campaign.
  • Cleveland’s quarterback room remains unsettled with multiple unproven options vying for the starting job this fall.
  • Haslam’s multimillion-dollar donations to the University of Tennessee bolster ties to the Manning family but have not translated into an active pursuit of Arch Manning.
