Browns Owner Weighs In on Manning's Future

In a striking turn of events, Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam recently weighed in on the speculation surrounding young quarterback Arch Manning's future. This came after FOX Sports' Colin Cowherd hinted at the possibility of Manning and renowned coach Nick Saban both making their way to the NFL in Cleveland by 2026.

When asked about Manning's potential move to the pros, Haslam made it clear he doesn’t think it’s a topic worth delving into just yet. "You’re in the business and you get paid by how many hits you get," he remarked, emphasizing that much of the chatter stems from media buzz rather than solid evidence.

Manning’s College Journey: What’s Next?

At just 21 years old, Manning has the chance to make a significant impact in college football. With his draft eligibility coming up in 2026, Haslam confidently predicted that Manning will likely stay in college for at least two more years. He admitted, "I don’t know Arch at all, but knowing the Manning family, I bet he stays in college two more years."

The question lingers: What does Manning need to achieve in his final college seasons? Last year, he showcased potential with 939 passing yards, completing 61 of 90 attempts, scoring nine touchdowns, and adding four more on the ground. However, many are curious if that’s enough to elevate him into a first-round draft pick.

The Clock is Ticking for Manning’s Future Prospects

As college football fans wait with bated breath, Manning's development will undoubtedly be the center of attention over the next few years. Will he rise to the occasion and become a top-tier quarterback, or will he choose the path of patience, honing his skills further before taking the plunge into the professional arena? Only time will reveal what the future holds for this football prodigy.
