The city has sued the team over the proposed move out of Cleveland to a domed stadium in Brook Park. The lawsuit arises under the Modell Law, which was enacted after the late Art Modell moved the Browns to Baltimore in 1996.

Cleveland filed a lawsuit against the Browns Tuesday accusing the team of violating the "Modell Law," a statute that allows locals to attempt to buy a relocating team within a six-month period before the team's relocation. The lawsuit seeks to stop the team from attempting to build a new domed stadium in the suburb of Brook Park.

Mayor Justin Bibb is firing a law firm that was helping Cleveland raise funds for waterfront development as well as ballpark and arena repairs — since that law firm is now representing Brook Park as it tries to attract the Cleveland Browns.

Tommy Rees was the first one to get an interview for the Browns ' offensive coordinator position. The tight ends coach/pass game specialist, at the end of the day, ended up being the man for the job.

Ken Dorsey opened the 2024 season as Cleveland's offensive coordinator but he was fired on January 5 after the team struggled to a 3-14 record. Head coach Kevin Stefanski is widely perceived to be on the hot seat heading into the 2024 season.
