What changed
10 real changes. The rest held.
Run blocking
Was 2025 Browns five
Now Jenkins brothers inside; Howard at RT; Fano/Jones at LT
Every hole is new. Judkins' line is a camp question, not a scheme question.
Pass blocking
Was 2025 Browns five
Now All-new Week 1 look: LT Spencer Fano / Dawand Jones rotating, LG Zion Johnson, C Elgton Jenkins, RG Teven Jenkins, RT Tytus Howard
Zero carryover starters. Fano (top-10) is not locked at LT. This is a new line.
Backfield
Was 2025 Browns backs
Now Judkins the named lead in camp chatter
Volume back in a QB-uncertain offense is a floor play.
Quarterback
Was Deshaun Watson / Shedeur Sanders mix
Now Watson / Sanders still a live competition
Week 1 starter is not settled. Huge for every Browns skill player.
Play caller
Was Tommy Rees / Stefanski
Now Todd Monken calls; Travis Switzer OC
Monken is a pass-game designer (Ravens). Switzer is the run-game complement.
Head coach
Was Kevin Stefanski
Now Todd Monken (hired 2026)
Offense-first HC replacing a run-first one.
Scheme & pace
Was Stefanski 2025 ~62% pass (QB issues)
Now Monken flexible; projected ~58% pass
QB quality, not the playbook, is the ceiling.
Pass catchers
Was 2025 Browns WRs
Now Monken historically feeds WRs when the QB is right
Jeopardized by the QB competition.
Tight end
Was 2025 TE room
Now Monken used Andrews heavily in Baltimore
TE could be a feature if 12 personnel ticks up.
Team environment
Was Stefanski 45-56
Now Monken year one, rebuild-ish AFC North
Win total not a positive-script bet.
