The Cleveland Browns have officially signed all ten of their 2017 draft picks, avoiding any unnecessary distractions heading into the 2017 season.

The countdown to training camp continues as the rookies and quarterbacks have already reported and are ready to get going.

Cleveland Browns fans have been waiting for the start of training camp since last season ended on a sour note in Pittsburgh, and even though expectations aren’t high it is still nice to know the team will be back in action soon.

The best news of the week so far has to do with Jabrill Peppers signing his contract, meaning the team has all ten draft picks signed heading into training camp. Peppers cut it close, but getting a deal done before camp is all that matters.

The only real drama heading into camp surrounds the quarterback position, but this is so routine a process for Browns fans it is nothing causing too much frustration. The real anger doesn’t begin until one player has a bad showing in a regular season game.

But for now, spirits are high. With camp just two days away, let’s look at the news surrounding the Browns and the rest of the NFL in today’s edition of the Daily Dawg Tags.
