Browns Backers – 2026:
A Season of Hope
The 2026 season is shaping up just fine, with another strong draft on the horizon to build on the quality talent added in 2025. For the first time in a while, GM Andrew Berry had premium draft capital—and he finally made it count.
The 2025 class brought in real difference-makers: standout rookie LB Carson Schwesinger, disruptive DT Mason Graham, playmaking TE Harold Fannin Jr., and explosive RBs Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson. And of course, all eyes are on QB Shedeur Sanders, who continues to show the tools and temperament to develop into a fine NFL quarterback. The foundation is being laid.
As always, the fan spirit was tested—but Browns fans don’t fold, we endure. There are no stronger fans in the NFL, and nowhere is that more evident than with the Bay Area Browns Backers (BABB). Through ups and downs, this group has kept the energy high, the loyalty strong, and the Browns pride loud and proud—3,000 miles from Cleveland.
Your support fuels everything we do. Our treasury helps us buy and sell BABB tees at cost, stock our locations with Browns giveaways, and keep the Backers presence strong all season long. We rely on you, and we ask that you renew your membership—wherever you’re based.
Go Browns!
— Bud Genovese, President, Bay Area Browns Backers
