It is Wednesday, March 30, 2022, and the Cleveland Browns are nearing the end of a tumultuous month in the franchise’s history.
Next month begins offseason workouts and the NFL Draft so things are going to become even more intense in the coming weeks.
Here is the Wednesday edition of Browns Nation news and notes.

This announcement had a mixture of reactions on #Browns Twitter including the obvious one that working in Browns’ marketing will be a challenge right now with the Watson situation, and someone identified Rossi’s doppelganger as Tim Tebow.

3. NFL Overtime Rules Changed For Playoffs Only
The biggest takeaway from the NFL’s annual meetings in Florida this week is the change to the overtime rule for postseason play.
Each team is now guaranteed a possession in overtime.
NFL owners have approved a rule change to guarantee a possession to both teams in overtime. The new rule is for postseason only.

We don’t know exactly how this play ends, but we could make an educated guess that Jim Brown runs through the pack of Colts defenders attempting to take him down.
Happy Wednesday Browns Fans!
