Browns post Mailbag answering questions on safeties, linebackers, rookies and roster needs
The Cleveland Browns posted a Mailbag on the team website that answered fan questions about a broad set of roster and scheme topics, including how Emmanuel McNeil-Warren fits into the safety room and which linebackers might assume larger roles. Kelsey Russo, an associate editor and staff writer, is credited with answering several items. The Mailbag format posed and responded to reader queries on positional depth and development.
Russo addressed expectations for the Browns’ rookie class and named candidates who have stood out early, and she answered a question about which linebacker could step into a larger role in 2025. The Mailbag included queries about cornerback improvement and the club’s draft strategy, including which positions the Browns could target and how many picks they possessed in 2025. It also included a question asking why the Browns drafted quarterbacks Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders.
The Mailbag entries also covered game- and unit-specific subjects, with items about how the defense might combat the Philadelphia Eagles and how special teams factored into the Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The feature included entries on the state of the offensive line, the progress of running back Nick Chubb and the potential for Cedric Tillman to increase his involvement. The Browns site archived additional past Mailbag entries from staffers such as Anthony Poisal and Andrew Gribble that track recurring themes and developmental questions.
