Instant answers
StatMuse-style — answers the exact questionIs Myles Garrett still on the Browns in 2026?
No. Garrett was traded to the Los Angeles Rams on June 1, 2026, for Jared Verse plus future draft picks, ending his nine-season Cleveland career.
Is Joel Bitonio still on the Browns in 2026?
No. Bitonio retired on June 9, 2026, after 12 seasons as Cleveland's starting left guard.
Why do the Browns not count 1996-98 as a franchise gap?
When Art Modell moved the original Browns to Baltimore (becoming the Ravens) in 1996, a league settlement kept the Browns' name, colors, and history in trust in Cleveland; the team returned via expansion draft in 1999 and is not treated as a new expansion franchise.

The complete story
Founded in 1944 by Arthur 'Mickey' McBride and named for original coach Paul Brown, the Browns dominated the All-America Football Conference (47-4-3, four straight titles) before joining the NFL in 1950 and winning four more league championships (1950, 1954, 1955, 1964). In 1996, owner Art Modell relocated the franchise to Baltimore to become the Ravens, but a league settlement preserved the Browns' name, colors, and records in trust, and Cleveland returned to the NFL in 1999 via expansion draft. The team has had only a handful of winning seasons since returning, and maintains long-standing rivalries with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens.
