However, that&#8217;s not going to stop them from drafting another highly touted player if they find themselves in a position to do so next Spring.<\/p>\n<p>And according to one ESPN Cleveland radio host, owner Jimmy Haslam may already have his sights set on Texas quarterback Arch Manning.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>It has been rumored that Manning will not come out in the 2026 NFL Draft and will stay for a second season as the starter in Austin, the way that both of his uncles went about their business. However, ESPN Cleveland&#8217;s Tony Rizzo has stated that the Browns&#8217; owner <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ESPNCleveland\/status\/1947302780772778253\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:is already salivating over the idea;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">is already salivating over the idea<\/a> of landing Manning in Cleveland:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know he would not admit it, and I know it\u2019s nothing that they want to talk about, but I\u2019m telling you the thirst that Jimmy Haslam has for Arch Manning is unmatched. Unmatched&#8230; You know the connection. The Haslams donated a ton of money to Tennessee. They have a good relationship with the Manning family. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a coincidence they acquired a second first-round pick. &#8230; It was described to me by a billionaire that said, \u2018In a perfect world, that guy would be in Cleveland next year, and they would do anything to get him.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Manning has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daftondraft.football\/p\/nfl-draft-arch-manning-every-dropback-2024\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:only thrown 100 career passing attempts;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">only thrown 100 career passing attempts<\/a>, so we may be jumping the gun a bit here. However, if he is as good as he is anticipated to be, then Manning may have every bit of reason to forego his senior season and declare for the 2026 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n<p>The Browns also hold two first round picks in this upcoming draft as well, so landing Manning (even by any means necessary) is not off the table.<\/p>\n<p>This article originally appeared on Browns Wire: <a href=\"https:\/\/brownswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/browns\/2025\/07\/23\/browns-owner-obsessing-over-arch-manning\/85337888007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Browns owner already reportedly obsessing over Arch Manning;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Browns owner already reportedly obsessing over Arch Manning<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Cleveland Browns drafted not one, but two quarterbacks in the 2025 NFL Draft.
