Daily Dawg Tags: Is the Cleveland Browns offense lacking a Big 3?

Spanning the virtual globe to bring you the latest news about the Cleveland Browns and the NFL – these are your Daily Dawg Tags for Thursday, June 16.

The Cleveland Browns are on their summer hiatus, but there is still plenty of news surrounding the team as the opening of training camp is just 44 days away.

In other Browns news, the offense is still a work in progress as the presumed “Big 3” is not receiving much national love from ESPN; the same is true of last year’s receiving group, which Pro Football Focus frowned upon; and the team will once again hold a scrimmage at Ohio Stadium.

Here’s everything you need to know (or may have missed) about the Browns and the NFL to get your Thursday started.

Cleveland Browns:

The next ten names are to be revealed tonight, but will Thomas have to wait another week to hear his name called?"

Browns receivers graded No. 30 in 2015 by PFF 

"The Cleveland Browns drafted four wide receivers in this year’s NFL Draft after seeing the lack of production from the group on the field last season. The best wide receiver, Travis Benjamin, left Cleveland to join the San Diego Chargers. Then Brian Hartline was released, leaving tight end Gary Barnidge and running back Duke Johnson Jr. as the only pass-catching threats returning to the team. The lack of production was noticed by Pro Football Focus when it gave the Browns a low grade for overall team receiving in 2015."

Ravens release Eugene Monroe (Ebony Bird)

"We should not be shocked that a trade did not happen. You don’t buy the day old donuts the minute before they give them away for free.

Yesterday Jeff Zerbiec of the Baltimore Sun reported that the team was ready to move on from Eugene Monroe. Today he was released and is no longer a Raven."
