Daily Dawg Tags: Browns coaches banking on continuity

The Daily Dawg Tags bring you all the Cleveland Browns news you need to know, including how the franchise is banking on continuity in 2022

It may seem like there are a lot of changes to the Cleveland Browns heading into the 2022 season, but many of those in the organization aren’t looking at it this way.

Sure, there are three new quarterbacks and they’ve overhauled the receiving corps, but these are being viewed as needed upgrades while still maintaining continuity. And that continuity isn’t just with many of the players, but the coaching staff and front office as well.

Cleveland has struggled in recent years to keep their staff together but now, we enter year three with Andrew Berry as the general manager, Kevin Stefanski as the head coach, Alex Van Pelt as the offensive coordinator, and Joe Woods as the defensive coordinator.

Now, they’re banking on the patience they finally learned paying off.

That story and more can be found in today’s Daily Dawg Tags.

"“Oh, it’s huge,” Bitonio said during last month’s minicamp. “Usually if you have a new coach, you come into OTAs and you’re learning a whole new playbook. Now we’re putting some wrinkles in.”"

Joel Bitonio is the longest-tenured player, joining the team in 2014. He’s seen a lot of change so it makes sense for him to be excited about staying in the same system. So far, Stefanski and Berry have done well together and it wouldn’t be a surprise at all to see them stay together for many more years.

Browns salary cap update after Baker Mayfield trade — Jared Mueller, BrownsWire

"“Three different sites provide a little bit of a different amount starting with the NFLPA’s website which only credits the team with just over $41 million. Over the Cap has the team with $48.4 million while Spotrac has them at $48.7 million.”"

Cleveland has close to $50 million in space according to two sites. It’s unlikely they spend any of that money, however, unless they decide to work out some long-term deals for some of their younger players. Otherwise, it’s likely to all be rolled over into 2023.
