Browns talked to Kenny Pickett

The University of Pittsburgh quarterback has stated that he has spoken with the Cleveland Browns.Kenny Pickett to Cleveland? While that is definitely putting the cart before the horse here, it is not as impossible as previously though. Pickett stated that the Browns were one of the first teams he talked to during Senior Bowl week. https://twitter.com/BrownsByBrad/status/1488862499067805701?s=20&t=6Ho8JStwcqpwib-LpBx6Uw Of course there is some unknown information here, notably who initiated the conversation.

Cavaliers narrowly defeat Pelicans 93-90

The shorthanded Cleveland Cavaliers needed all hands on deck in order to just barely come away with a three-point win. Cleveland was faced with the reality of playing without one of their best players in Darius Garland as he was held out with back soreness. This led to an unconventional staring lineup featuring Cedi Osman, Isaac Okoro, Dean Wade, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen.
