When it comes to Cleveland’s short list of young players poised for a 2026 breakout, Isaiah McGuire’s contract year jumps off the page. “McGuire penetrated the backfield from the edge to blow up a run play for a likely tackle for loss during the fourth 11-on-11 period of practice. In the 11-on-11 red zone period, McGuire made a similar play to stuff another Sanders designed run play towards the middle of the field.” But unlike both Tillman and Jones, McGuire’s roster spot and role on the team is solidified. The Browns restructured Jones’ contract, lowering his 2026 number back down to a fully-guaranteed $1.1 million.
