The Cleveland Browns began minicamp Tuesday, signaling that training camp is right around the corner for this young team.

Cleveland sports fans looking for something positive after the NBA Finals can look to Berea, where the Browns began minicamp Tuesday.

We have seen footage from OTAs and rookie camp a few weeks ago, but the veterans were in attendance and on the field Tuesday on a sweltering day in Cleveland.

Minicamp is just for a few days, but it should have fans excited about next month’s training camp. The main storyline still revolves around the quarterbacks, but there won’t be any movement among that group until preseason games begin.

The only thing that could shakeup the group early is if Brock Osweiler is cut or traded, which would only heat up the conversation of Kizer vs. Kessler.

The Browns are back on the practice field today, and will hopefully leave us with no new, crazy storylines to discuss. Let’s look at that and more in today’s edition of the Daily Dawg Tags.
