A number of reports from this winter have indicated that the Cleveland Browns will not have a lot curiosity in choosing Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Ty Simpson with both total choose No. 6 or No. 24 of the 2026 NFL Draft.
Such chatter did not cease Simpson from talking extremely of lately employed Browns head coach Todd Monken throughout a Thursday look on the FanDuel TV “Up & Adams” program.
Ty Simpson, Todd Monken have “a terrific relationship”
“He’s the person,” Simpson stated about Monken, per Chris Franklin of NJ Advance Media. “First off, he recruited me at Georgia (whereas serving as offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach), so I had a terrific relationship with him. Then, him teaching at Southern Miss, he and my dad bought to know one another fairly effectively, so I’ve recognized him for a very long time. I bought to satisfy with them on the mix, and I bought to satisfy with them on (a go to with the Browns).”
That is all effectively and good, however Browns insider Tony Grossi of ESPN Cleveland/The Land on Demand has repeatedly made it known that Browns basic supervisor Andrew Berry and never Monken shall be spending Cleveland’s draft picks in April.
In the meantime, the Browns appear severe about having veteran Deshaun Watson and 2025 rookie Shedeur Sanders compete for the beginning job this coming summer time. Assuming that is the case, spending a invaluable draft selection on a signal-caller who allegedly possesses “questionable first-round expertise” at greatest would not make a lot sense for Cleveland.
Why Ty Simpson want to play for Todd Monken
“He desires to take the league by storm together with his offense,” Simpson added about Monken. “He’s very real and cares about his gamers and his coaches. The proof is within the pudding with regards to the offense. You noticed what he did at Georgia and what he did with (Baltimore Ravens quarterback) Lamar Jackson. I feel it’s a quarterback-friendly system led by a man who’s keen to vary and adapt.”
Jackson earned his second regular-season Most Invaluable Participant Award in his first campaign of getting Monken as his offensive coordinator with the Ravens. Whereas the state of affairs might change by the point April 23 arrives, it appears as of the center of March that Simpson will not have Monken as a head coach later this yr.
