Arc on horizon for Diamond Necklace after dazzling Goodwood success

Deion Sanders expressed interest in meeting with Browns head coach Todd Monken this offseason and the two men were able to make it happen at Browns training camp on Thursday.

Sanders said he want to have the meeting to talk about coaching his son Shedeur because Sanders "can tell him a few things about how to get him going" after their time together at Colorado. Monken said he was interested in having that conversation this spring and said on Thursday that it was "awesome" to get it done.

Monken said he and Sanders spent much of their time telling stories about their football careers, but that Sanders "gave me a little bit of insight" into how his son processes things as a quarterback. Monken added "we’ve been able to see" most of what Sanders was talking about and that he got to tell Sanders "what a great job Shedeur has done."

"It was good. Part-coach, part-father, which is what it should be," Monken said.

Shedeur Sanders is competing with Deshaun Watson for the starting quarterback job in Cleveland. It doesn't sound like anything that happened on Thursday will give him a leg up in that race, but the more insight the better for one of Monken's first big decisions in his new job.

When Jadeveon Clowney left the Browns after the 2022 season, the two parties were not on the best terms.

But all of that now seems to be water under the bridge, as Clowney visited with Cleveland on Wednesday and appears to be getting closer to signing with the club.

Browns General Manger Andrew Berry told reporters on Thursday that he has no qualms about re-signing Clowney after a “really good visit.”

“No. 1, reconciliation is possible in life,” Berry said, via Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. “And I don’t subscribe to the notion of defining people by really their worst or best moment.

“But in this case, a moment of weakness, he made a mistake. It’s something you talk through. We’ve maintained a good relationship with JD since, really since 2022. And I think the second thing is we had him for two years and it was certainly a lot more positives than negatives despite how it ended. … So we do feel comfortable bringing him back into the organization if it’s the right fit on both sides.”

Clowney’s criticisms about the team had to do with former edge rusher Myles Garrett and how, at the time, Cleveland seemed to be prioritizing Garrett’s sack totals over the broader defensive scheme.

But Garrett is no longer with the team, and neither are the members of that defensive coaching staff.

Clowney recorded 11.0 sacks with the Browns in 26 games over two years from 2021-2022.

In 13 games for Dallas last year, Clowney tallied 8.5 sacks with 12 tackles for loss and 10 quarterback hits.
