Daily Dawg Tags bring you all the Cleveland Browns news you need to know

Week 8 was the halfway point for the Cleveland Browns and it ended in a frustrating way for them. The Browns played the Las Vegas Raiders and were handed a 16-6 loss in a game that was as ugly as the weather the game was played in.

Still, a 5-3 first half isn’t bad at all, especially considering this team hasn’t had a winning season since 2007. But don’t tell that to the players on this roster.

Apparently, they’re not satisfied with simply doing better than they have in the past. This Browns team wants to win every time out and this latest loss has them “pissed off” according to quarterback Baker Mayfield.

His frustration and more can be found in today’s Daily Dawg Tags.

Baker Mayfield says Browns ‘pissed off’ about 5-3 record after 16-6 loss to Raiders — Nate Ulrich, Akron Beacon Journal

"“It should be a lot better,” Mayfield said on Zoom. “We believe that, and that’s why our locker room’s pissed off.”"

Mayfield knows the team should be better than 5-3 and the fact that the entire locker room is upset means they should be extra motivated as they spend the next week preparing for their Week 10 matchup with the Houston Texans.

Odell Beckham’s Time in Cleveland May Be Over; Where Could He Land Next? — Brad Gagnon, Bleacher Report

"“A new environment could enable a healthy Beckham to excel again as a No. 1 receiver next season. Which potential destinations makes the most sense? Not every franchise is suitable for a player like Beckham on or off the field, and his $15.75 million 2021 salary could be a factor. “"

Gagnon is just one of many writers who think that OBJ could be in a different jersey next season. It should be interesting to see if the offense still struggles without him if these takes continue or die down.

One trade target from all other 31 teams
