Insider gives positive outlook for Kevin Stefanski as Browns head coach.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Cleveland Browns\u00a0are off to a 2-7 start, and fans have called for head coach Kevin Stefanski to be fired.<\/p>\n
However, it is unlikely that Stefanski\u00a0will be fired this season. Meanwhile, Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot revealed that he is likely to return in 2026. General manager Andrew Berry is also expected back, according to Cabot.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe truth is, we have no idea what they are actually really thinking,\u201d Cabot\u00a0said on 92.3 The Fan. \u201cI know going into it, Jimmy Haslam has indicated, I believe at the owner\u2019s meetings, that he wasn\u2019t holding Kevin and Andrew\u2019s feet to the fire because this was the year they were trying to figure out what they had in one of these rookie quarterbacks. Or, at least at that point, they knew it was going to be one rookie quarterback.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think there was this sense of \u2018win or else\u2019 this season. It was about fact-finding and figuring out what they had and helping them inform what to do in the 2026 draft. I just don\u2019t think this was a year where the expectations were super, crazy high. But, still, you have to see certain things from your football team. \u2026 I do think that Jimmy believes in continuity and alignment in his organization. And, he knows that this is a challenging year with all of the rookies. In a perfect world, he\u2019s going to want to try to maintain that continuity. And, see if they can\u2019t get this thing on the right track with a new quarterback they will probably draft in 2026.<\/p>\n
Cabot believes Haslam still has confidence in Berry and Stefanski, and both could very well return next season with a new quarterback.<\/p>\n
Cleveland has struggled this season as the Browns are off to a 2-7 start and coming off a disappointing 27-20 road loss to the\u00a0New York Jets.<\/p>\n
Following the loss, Stefanski made it clear that the goal and focus are on turning it around and finding ways to win.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously frustrated, disappointed on that result yesterday,\u201d Stefanski\u00a0said\u00a0on Monday. \u201cAnd we\u2019re spending time right now watching it with the players and trying to learn from that. You know, hard to win on the road, and certainly hard when you do some of the things we did in that ball game. But we\u2019re committed to this thing, and we\u2019ll just find ways to get better in all areas and we\u2019ll go from there. Big division game at our place this week.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stefanski believes the Browns have to be better in all three phases of the game. Despite that being an issue all season, he has full confidence in his group.<\/p>\n
The Browns will host the\u00a0Baltimore Ravens\u00a0on Sunday in a game Cleveland\u00a0is a 7.5-point underdog.<\/p>\n
Although Stefanski hasn\u2019t been fired, and there are no signs he will be, his name has come up for other jobs.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0New York Giants\u00a0fired Brian Daboll on Monday after a loss to the\u00a0Chicago Bears. Following Daboll\u2019s firing, NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky\u00a0links\u00a0Stefanski to the Giants.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe No. 1 name that I would pay attention to if I were the\u00a0Giants\u00a0is what happens in Cleveland with Kevin Stefanski,\u201d Orlovsky\u00a0said\u00a0on Monday on NFL Live. \u201cIf I could hand-pick a guy, it would be Stefanski. He\u2019s an outstanding coach, two-time Coach of the Year.<\/p>\n
\u201cI understand people in Cleveland are like, \u2018This guy can\u2019t coach\u2019. But there\u2019s a lot of empirical data that would say otherwise. \u2026 I would pay attention to see what\u2019s going on in Cleveland.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stefanski has been the Browns\u2019 head coach since 2020 and has led them to the playoffs twice.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers\u00a0are looking to add another offensive weapon to the roster.<\/p>\n
The Steelers are off to a 3-1 start and coming off a 24-21 win over the\u00a0Minnesota Vikings\u00a0in Dublin, and had their bye week last week. With Pittsburgh off to a hot start, the Steelers could be aggressive ahead of the trade deadline.<\/p>\n
One area of need is at receiver, and the Steelers are already calling around. According to Steelers insider Andrew Fillipponi, Pittsburgh has checked in with the\u00a0New Orleans Saints\u00a0over Rashid Shaheed.<\/p>\n
\u201cSource: The Steelers reached out to the Saints during the bye week to take their temperature on WR Rashid Shaheed. Who will be a FA at the end of the year. Big play WR and return man. Trades are being made in the NFL left and right,\u201d Fillipponi\u00a0wrote on X.<\/p>\n
Shaheed signed a\u00a0one\u2013year, $5.2 million contract extension\u00a0with the Saints this offseason and is off to a hot start. With New Orleans likely to be near the bottom of the standings, Shaheed\u2019s name has come up in trade talks.<\/p>\n
The speedy receiver would be a deep ball threat for Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers\u2019 offense. Shaheed has recorded\u00a022 receptions for 288 yards and 2 touchdowns\u00a0this season, including an 87-yard touchdown reception, showing his ability to stretch the field.<\/p>\n
Pittsburgh\u2019s offense has struggled this season to move the ball downfield.<\/p>\n
Rodgers has done a good job of taking what the defense has given him. But he explained why the deep ball hasn\u2019t been a part of the Steelers\u2019 offense.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s easy playing [against] Cover 2,\u201d Rodgers said. \u201cPlaying Cover 2, there\u2019s not gonna be a ton of big shots down the field. Until we get them in one-high, it\u2019s gonna be precision passing short of the sticks\u2026 There\u2019s not going to be a lot of shots open down the boundary. So, we\u2019re just trying to be efficient.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although Rodgers believes the opposing team\u2019s defense is why the deep ball hasn\u2019t been effective, it also could be due to the receiver core.<\/p>\n
If the Steelers do make a move for Shaheed, it could open up the deep ball and make Pittsburgh\u2019s offense that much better.<\/p>\n
Although the Steelers are off to a good start, head coach Mike Tomlin believes the offense needs to improve.<\/p>\n
Tomlin believes the Steelers\u2019 offense has had some moments, but he believes it could be better.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll areas, to be quite honest with you,\u201d Tomlin\u00a0admitted. \u201c<\/span>We\u2019ve had some good moments. We\u2019ve had some moments that aren\u2019t good. We\u2019ve got to keep pushing, and we\u2019d better win along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n
