Colin Cowherd stirred the pot on his show Wednesday by sharing an intriguing rumor regarding the Cleveland Browns’ potential draft strategy, specifically mentioning the possibility of them targeting Arch Manning as well as Nick Saban as their next head coach. While the validity of this rumor remains uncertain, it caught the attention of draft expert Todd McShay, who added his insights on social media.
McShay, formerly with ESPN and now associated with The Ringer, highlighted the Los Angeles Rams as another team worth watching in the context of Manning’s future. He pointed out that the Rams have two first-round picks in the upcoming draft and mentioned an interesting connection: Les Snead’s son, who attends Texas, is reportedly close friends with Manning. Furthermore, McShay noted that the Rams’ head coach has a successful track record with quarterbacks, making them a formidable contender for Manning if he decides to declare for the draft.
While speculation abounds, it is essential to remember that Manning’s decision to enter the draft is still undetermined. If the Rams aim to secure the top pick, they would likely need to orchestrate a significant trade, potentially utilizing the pick acquired from the Falcons. However, this would depend on whether the current holder of the first overall pick would be open to such a trade.
As fans and analysts look toward the 2026 draft, the evolving landscape of team strategies and player declarations brings about an exciting air of anticipation in the NFL. The situation remains fluid, making this an engaging discussion for fans of the league.
