Cleveland Browns News: Berea headquarters lease extended to 2039
By Randy Gurzi
The Daily Dawg Tags brings you all the Cleveland Browns news you need to know, including the team extending their lease in Berea through 2039
The news cycle was a little slow on Monday, that is until news broke that former Cleveland Browns quarterback Josh McCown was retiring after 17 years in the NFL. With him hanging up his cleats, it reminded us all about the two seasons he spent with the Browns back in 2015 and 2016.
Other news came in after the McCown announcement as the team extended its lease in the city of Berea by 10 years. The headquarters for the Browns has been located in this city since 1990 and they were under contract through 2029 up until the new deal was made.
With that agreement on Monday, Cleveland’s football headquarters will remain in the same place through the year 2039.

Cleveland Browns headquarters to remain in Berea through 2039 — Mary Kilpatrick, Cleveland.com
"“The Browns will keep their headquarters in Berea through 2039, according to a proposed lease agreement hammered out by the city and the team.The news is a win for the city, which counts the team as their largest income taxpayer. The Browns contribute about 25 percent of the city’s annual income tax income. In recent years, that number has been well over $3 million.”"
"“His first possession as Browns quarterback against the Jets summed up his Browns career, a 17-play, 90-yard drive that ended with McCown risking life and limb to score a touchdown, only to see Jets linebacker Demario Davis cause the airborne McCown to helicopter into the end zone, sans football.”"
McCown was a warrior on the field and gave the team everything he had. He was part of some of the darkest times in Browns’ history. How dark? This was the era of Johnny Manziel. Enough said. McCown was a true professional and will be missed in the NFL — that is, unless he decides to take up coaching which he would probably be great at.
"“Obviously with talent coming to the team, everybody understands how good they can be,” Haden said. “You all got to put it together, but with Baker being a young quarterback, Odell, Jarvis, bringing great defensive pieces, Myles (Garrett), it’s talent. It speaks for itself. On paper it looks amazing. So that’s the thing, just making sure that they stay together and work together as a team. That’s going to be one of the biggest things. But as far as outside looking in, it looks amazing for sure.”"
Haden sees that the talent is there, finally. He also talked about the days when he was in Cleveland and how it always felt like they were going to turn a corner, however, this time it feels real.
