Daily Dawg Tags: Officially on to the 2018 NFL Season
By Randy Gurzi
With Super Bowl 52 in the rear view mirror, we are officially on to the 2018 NFL Season. Here is all the Cleveland Browns and NFL news you need to know.

There were a few former Cleveland Browns involved in the big game, but it’s not like that makes it any easier not being a part of the festivities.
Good news is, everyone is 0-0 today. The Browns have a legitimate shot of actually turning things around too as they own more draft picks than anyone and they have more cap space than all but one NFL franchise.
The key will be if they can make the right moves to bring the necessary change. Speaking of moves, we are moving on to our first Daily Dawg Tag of the 2018 NFL Season — sure the NFL calendar hasn’t changed yet, but why wait.
