The 2024 season will be the Cleveland Browns' upcoming 72nd season as a member of the National Football League, their 76th overall, and their fifth under the head coach/general manager tandem of Kevin Stefanski and Andrew Berry.

The Browns will look to improve upon their 11–6 record from the previous season and return to the playoffs, which would mark the first time since 1988 and 1989 in which the Browns qualify for the playoffs in back-to-back seasons. The Browns will also look to win their division for the first time since 1989.

Staff changes

On January 17, the Browns fired offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt and running backs coach Stump Mitchell, and did not renew the contract of tight ends coach T. C. McCartney.

On February 13, it was announced that defensive line coach Ben Bloom was taking a role with the Tennessee Titans.

On January 24, the Browns hired Duce Staley as their running backs coach. Staley was previously the assistant head coach/running backs coach for the Carolina Panthers in 2023.

On January 27, the Browns hired Jacques Cesaire as their defensive line coach. Cesaire was previously the defensive line coach for the Houston Texans from 2022–2023. On January 28, the Browns hired Ken Dorsey as their offensive coordinator. Dorsey was previously the offensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills from 2022–2023, and had played quarterback for the Browns from 2006–2008. On February 7, the Browns hired Andy Dickerson as their offensive line coach. Dickerson was previously the offensive line coach for the Seattle Seahawks from 2022–2023.

Usage

This template can be used on templates and tables to automatically set the background color and the font color to the primary (background) color and the secondary (font) color and optionally the tertiary (border) color that are used by Gridiron football (including American Football, Canadian Football, and Arena/Indoor Football) teams. It can be used in conjunction with other Gridiron color templates listed in the "See also" section below. It takes only one required parameter, which is the team name and one optional parameter, which is the year. If the year is provided it will be used to select the color scheme used at that point in time in the case of franchises whose color schemes have changed over time. If the year is not provided, the current color scheme will be used.

Template:Tlc

Deprecated method to get non-current color

Prior to the implementation of the year parameter, the method to designate non-current color schemes was to specify an alternate team name. For example, Template:Tlc or Template:Tlc would yield the primary color in use by the Buffalo Bills from 1962 through 2001. While the old code word based methodology has been retained in the interest of backward compatibility, the new method using the year parameter should be used going forward.

Color data

All color data is stored in Module:Gridiron color/data. Requests to change or update colors should be made at Module talk:Gridiron color.
