Todd Monken sat down with NFL insider Ian Rapoport at the NFL Scouting Combine last week and delivered the soundbite fans had been suspecting for weeks.
What will the Cleveland Browns’ main focus be this offseason? “Gotta build it up front," the coach told Rapoport. "That’s it. I mean, it starts up front. It starts in the trenches on both sides of the ball.”
That messaging hardly comes as a surprise, as the Browns could be breaking in four new Week 1 starters (at least) along their offensive line in 2026. Their D-line is strong but not bulletproof, with the 34-year-old Shelby Harris scheduled to hit free agency, and Maliek Collins, soon to be 31, coming off a season-ending quad injury.
