Cleveland Browns were not well-ordained with quarterback talent in 2016, and there were rumors about signing quarterback Colin Kaepernick. The year also saw the hiring of a new head coach in Hue Jackson and the departure of starting QB Johnny Manziel. The Browns HC was keen on bringing the then-49ers QB to Cleveland in their attempts to shake things up. In a Sports Illustrated report by Gary Gramling and Conor Orr, Jackson hoped to sign [https://www.si.com/nfl/2022/05/04/hue-jackson-wanted-browns-to-trade-for-colin-kaepernick-2016] him when he was on the trade block with the Niners [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/]. Jackson was also in talks of becoming the Niners’ boss before becoming the Browns’ head coach. It appears he was a fan of Kaepernick’s style of play and wanted to give him the starting job. While it was a plan that never came to find success, the reasons behind not signing him remain unclear. Kaepernick was also dealing with a left shoulder injury that required surgery after the 2015 NFL season. While it made him miss the last few games in 2015, whether it affected the trade remains only a rumor. THE POSSIBILITY OF WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN FOR COLIN KAEPERNICK The Browns [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/cleveland-browns/] ended up signing Robert Griffin III from Washington that season and drafting QB Cody Kessler in the NFL Draft. But it was a consequential season for both the Browns and Kaepernick as they had their moments. Both the Niners and the Browns finished with terrible season records as they were without their starting QBs. “Where’s He at Right Now?… I’m on the Streets Outside Everyday!” [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-news-antonio-brown-slams-colin-kaepernick-amidst-the-nfl-return-race-wheres-he-at-right-now-im-on-the-streets-outside-everyday/] While Kaepernick played in his final NFL campaign, Jackson had his problems with his employers following the season. But it appears the opportunity seems to be again presenting itself to Kaepernick for his NFL comeback in 2022. There is a lot of interest from NFL teams to sign the former Super Bowl finalist after his multiple workout sessions. Colin Kaepernick [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1389231703.jpg]ANN ARBOR, MI – APRIL 02: Colin Kaepernick participates in a throwing exhibition during half time of the Michigan spring football game at Michigan Stadium on April 2, 2022 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. (Photo by Jaime Crawford/Getty Images) The 2022 NFL campaign might be the golden opportunity that Kaepernick was working for during the offseason. While joining the Browns in 2022 is an unlikely scenario, Kaepernick appears to be getting ready for his second chance at NFL glory. The NFL fans will be itching to see what Kaepernick can accomplish after his long lay-off in a different game.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Cleveland Browns 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The Cleveland Browns were founded by Paul Brown and businessman Arthur B. McBride as a charter member of the All-American Football Conference in 1945. The early days of the AAFC were dominated by the Browns as they racked up an impressive 47-4-3 record through the league’s four seasons.  The Browns continued their dominance through the dissolution of the AAFC and joined up the NFL alongside the San Francisco 49’ers and the Baltimore Colts.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-497445 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201230182931/take.jpg" alt="" width="747" height="560" />
<p style="text-align: center">The club won their inaugural NFL season as well as the 1954, 1955, 1964 seasons. What’s more, they managed to pull off an unmatched feat by playing in their league championship game in each of the Browns’ first ten years of existence. However, the Browns weren’t able to maintain their upward trajectory much longer as they didn’t win another championship from 1965 to 1995 despite making the NFL playoffs 14 times.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Since 1999, the Browns have continually struggled to find success. They have had only one playoff appearance in 2002 and only three winning seasons in 2002, 2007, and 2020. Additionally, there have been no playoff wins and winning less than one-third of their games in totality.  What’s more, the front office hasn’t seen much stability either with multiple Head Coaching changes since 1999 (10 full time and two interim).</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-497448 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201230183202/baker.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="600" />

The Cleveland Browns have improved on their 6-10 season from 2019 going 11-5 in 2020 and placed third in the AFC North. The franchise went on to win the Wild  Card round by upsetting the Pittsburgh Steelers winning out 48-37.

However, they went on to lose the divisional playoffs to the defending champions Kansas City Chiefs 17-22.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Logo</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The 1970s saw the Browns use their orange helmet as the logo with a facemask. In 1986, the franchise went for a dramatic overhaul that saw a more 3-D helmet model and an updated facemask. Some of the shadows were removed from the logo and the angle was altered in 1993.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-497446 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201230183007/sharp.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="1151" />
<p style="text-align: center">Since 1999, the Browns have made quite a few changes to their logos. After the 2005 season, the team made a slight adjustment to the orange color of the helmet and to the grey facemask. A more recent iteration of the Cleveland Browns identity came in the form of a ‘safety’ orange-colored helmet.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Cleveland Browns Owner Achievements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Jimmy Arthur Haslam III is a sports executive who is the co-owner of the Cleveland Browns alongside his wife Dee Haslam. Additionally, he’s the CEO of the Pilot Flying J truck stop chain. His father, Jim Haslam founded the Pilot Corporation in 1958 as the Pilot Oli Corporation.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-497450 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201230183320/haslam.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1238" />
<p style="text-align: center">Furthermore, Haslam bought a minority interest in the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2008, and in 2012 he went on to purchase the Cleveland Browns for $1 billion. Forbes magazine valued the Browns at $977 million in 2011. The NFL rules prohibit ownership of multiple teams so Haslam sold his interest in the Steelers.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Cleveland Browns 2022 Sponsors</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">FirstEnergy Corp comes out as the naming rights sponsor of the Cleveland Browns. Arby’s Foundation had a tie-up with the Browns foundation wherein 520 students in need received free WiFi for one year to help a student who is engaged in their education and remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">The Browns also have a deal with Splash Financial with a goal to help fans save money on their student loans. Moreover, Electronic Merchant Systems (EMS), a leading Cleveland based provider of merchant services and payment processing solutions. Through the partnership, EMS and the Browns have hosted the annual toy drive to benefit thousands of local kids during the holiday season.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Colin Kaepernick 2022: Net Worth, Charity, and Endorsements </b></h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Colin Rand Kaepernick, commonly known as Colin Kaepernick is an American activist and an NFL Free Agent quarterback who used to play for the San Francisco 49ers. The Niners drafted him in the 2011 NFL Draft as the 36th pick overall. He led the 49ers to their first Super Bowl appearance after 18 long years in 2012 and to the NFC Championship the following season.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Kaepernick played six seasons in the NFL before getting, as many believe, "blackballed" for protesting against "police brutality and racial injustice" by kneeling during the national anthem at the start of NFL games. His protests made him a polarising figure in the league, so much so that, even President Donald Trump called him out for his actions while also gaining support from many other.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">He is now known for his profound activism against the causes mentioned earlier. Subsequently, he founded his own organization 'Know Your Rights' with partner Nessa Diab to make people aware of fundamental rights anyone can exercise.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Colin Kaepernick Stats</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">According to <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/K/KaepCo00.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pro Football Reference</a>, Colin Kaepernick in his six seasons in the NFL has played 69 regular season games throwing for 1,011 of 1,692 attempts covering a whopping 12,271 yards, recording 72 touchdowns, and 30 interceptions.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Kaepernick started his professional football career strong as he made the Super Bowl in his second season and the NFC Championship in the third. During those two offseason runs, the Niner threw for 94 of 162 pass attempts for 1,374 yards scoring 7 touchdowns and 5 interceptions.</p>

Colin Kaepernick

Colin Kaepernick 2022: Net Worth, Charity, and Endorsements  Colin Rand Kaepernick, commonly known as Colin Kaepernick is an American activist and an NFL Free Agent quarterback who used to play for the San Francisco 49ers. The Niners drafted him in the 2011 NFL Draft as the 36th pick overall. He led the 49ers to their first Super Bowl appearance after 18 long years in 2012 and to the NFC Championship the following season.
