Report: Browns complained about the irregularities in best players selection in……..
It seems like, for the first time ever, everybody’s rooting for the Cleveland Browns.
And how could they not?
The Browns have overcome adversity over and over, getting wins in games they were supposed to lose and having the ultimate feel-good story in the league with quarterback Joe Flacco leading the way.
Needless to say, it has taken a lot of hard work and a major team effort to get the team to where it is right now.
It seems like, for the first time ever, everybody’s rooting for the Cleveland Browns.
And how could they not?
That’s why the Browns’ social media account took a big shot at the league over some very notable snubs 2024 Pro Bowl Games.
The Browns complained about the fact that kicker Dustin Hopkins, defensive backs Greg Newsome II and Grant Delpit, and linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah didn’t make the cut despite being among the best in their position from start to finish.
Even so, this shouldn’t strike as much of a surprise at this point.
It’s not a secret that the Pro Bowl has been a popularity contest for quite a while.
Also, pass rusher Myles Garrett got hurt in the latest edition of the Pro Bowl, and that’s not a risk we would want our players to take.
On top of that, even though being named to the Pro Bowl Games is obviously a huge honor, no one actually wants to participate in the event; everybody wants to play in the Super Bowl.
Hopefully, those Browns players who did make the cut won’t be able to partake in the festivities either because they will be focused on winning a bigger and more significant prize instead.

Newest Browns Signing Makes Heartfelt Admission
As the Cleveland Browns celebrate their first postseason berth since 2020, the team continues to add pieces to their roster.
On January 3, Cleveland signed former St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams and Titans guard Rodger Saffold.
Saffold was born and raised in Bedford, Ohio, and starred as a member of the offensive and defensive lines for the Bedford High School Bearcats.
Growing up down the interstate from Cleveland turned Saffold into a lifelong Browns fan.
After signing with his favorite team, Saffold took to Twitter to share, “Back where it all started! Dream come true. I know my Dad and Grandfather smiling up there.”
A picture of Saffold on his post (playing with the Buffalo Bills in 2022) includes a quote saying that he “Lived and died with this team [Browns].”
Saffold was a two-star recruit in high school and had offers from Indiana, Kansas, Ohio University, and Illinois.
He chose to become a Hoosier and was named a starter in his freshman year, eventually playing in 42 games and starting 41.
The All-Big Ten selection was then taken in the second round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Rams.
From Day 1, Saffold became an integral part of the Rams offensive line, spending the next nine years with the organization including a move to California in 2016.
During his final season with L.A., the team posted a 13-3 record and advanced to Super Bowl LIII against the New England Patriots before losing 13-3.
Over the next few years, Saffold was a member of the Titans from 2019 to 2021 before a one-year stint in Buffalo.
Saffold spent the majority of the 2023 season on the practice squad of the New York Jets before recently becoming a Brown.
