Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam downplayed the popular narrative that the franchise has its eyes on Texas quarterback Arch Manning in the 2026 NFL Draft. Haslam acknowledged his relationship with the Manning family as a Tennessee alumnus on Tuesday, but stopped short of speculating on rumors of his franchise's plan next spring.

Jimmy Haslam has largely gotten credit for the Browns' decision to pick Shedeur Sanders. But the Browns co-owner said Tuesday he did not push Cleveland GM Andrew Berry to choose Sanders.

Browns Owner Jimmy Haslam Shuts Down Speculation About Shedeur Sanders originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Cleveland Browns were the team that took a shot on Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the 2025 NFL Draft, selecting him in the fifth round with the 144th overall pick.
