CLEVELAND, Ohio — Browns managing and principal partner Jimmy Haslam took questions from reporters on Monday with regard to Kevin Stefanski’s firing, Jim Schwartz, Shedeur Sanders, and more. Below is the transcript as provided by the Browns media relations department:

With the New York Giants winning Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, the Las Vegas Raiders all but locked up the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL draft before even taking the field. With that pick they get the chance to take Indiana's Fernando Mendoza, who looks the part of a franchise quarterback.

That success has been driven by talent — most notably Myles Garrett — and strong leadership from defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, who is widely regarded as one of the NFL’s top defensive minds. As Cleveland evaluates its next move, ESPN’s Adam Schefter warned against hiring a defensive-minded coach at the risk of losing Schwartz.
