It is Friday, September 2, 2022, and the Cleveland Browns are just 9 days from the kickoff of their much-awaited 2022 season.
In Browns’ speak, that is just Matt Bahr time remaining until the Browns take the field.

The offseason and preseason have been exhausting at times so the idea of regular season football games is exhilarating!
Here is the TGIF edition of Browns Nation news and notes.
1. Cavs Follow Browns Lead With Blockbuster Offseason Trade
The Cleveland Cavaliers followed the Browns’ lead and made a huge NBA offseason trade on Thursday.
Just as the Browns appeared to come out of nowhere to trade with the Texans for Deshaun Watson, the Cavs took a similar route in acquiring Donovan Mitchell from the Utah Jazz.
Many thought Mitchell was destined to become a member of the New York Knicks.

2. Browns Fans Offer Coaching Tips
Browns fans are happy to offer coaching tips to Stefanski and company.
Tips for how the Browns can succeed this season are all over social media.
This checklist appears to be very logical and difficult to debate its flaws.
For any salvation of making the playoffs this year:
1.) Lean on Nick Chubb and the run game. Derrick Henry type of volume.
2.) Easy, safe throws while limiting mistakes in the pass game.
3.) Feature Kareem Hunt in the pass game.
4.) Be at least a top 10 defense.

3. Are More Roster Moves Coming?
It appears that could be the case as the Browns worked out tight end Jesse James on Thursday.
The Browns worked out former Steelers and Lions TE Jesse James.

With only two tight ends on the 53-man roster (David Njoku and Harrison Bryant), it does seem likely that another will be added.
4. FirstEnergy Field Design Poll Has Ended
The team noted on its Twitter account that the votes have been tabulated, and the results will be revealed before the September 18 home opener.
