Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Published On: Tue Jun 02 2026
Description: Ken and Lima dissect Todd Monken's surprisingly harsh public comments about Brendan Sorsby, with Lima making a genuinely wild but hard to dismiss point that no NFL head coach in recent memory has ever spoken that negatively about a potential draft pick, and wondering out loud whether Andrew Berry told him to say exactly that to scare off competition in the supplemental draft blind auction. The broader post-trade reality sets in as Ken admits he was completely wrong to think the Browns were trying to compete this year, arguing that trading Myles Garrett is the clearest possible signal that they have zero faith in their quarterback room and everything is pointed at 2027. Ken gives Todd Monken something close to a pass on wins and losses this season but draws the line at the offense, saying after two years of free agency spending, high draft capital, and an offensive head coach, scoring more than 16 points a game is the bare minimum expectation. Tom Pelissero is up next and Ken wants one answer above everything else: how long ago was this trade actually agreed to?
