The refrain is one that Browns fans are eminently familiar with in reference to their beloved team.
“Throw the name out. Just write down the team on paper. They’re a playoff team.”
It’s back once again in 2020. This time around that exact quote comes from former NFL GM Charley Casserly. Now with the NFL Network, Casserly uttered the star-crossed praise in a segment this week.
After leading off with picking the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to be the team from the NFC that missed the playoffs in 2019 but make it in 2020, Casserly lauded the Browns as the AFC designee.
Citing the rebuilt offensive line and the offseason devotion to helping Baker Mayfield become the best quarterback he can be, Casserly again repeated the oft-cursed proclamation,
“Cleveland Browns, you’re a playoff team. You gotta step up and do it now.”
