General manager Adam Peters decided to prioritize the protection in front of quarterback Jayden Daniels during the 2025 offseason.

When an NFL team hires a new head coach, there is inevitable optimism for the fanbase; even when the new guy is initially disliked, one fiery opening press conference or a few quotes is usually enough to turn at least some fans around.

Before joining Cleveland, Banda had no NFL experience, so there were questions about whether he would be a good fit. Banda has quickly become one of the better position coaches the Browns have.
