Good morning, Akron.

As part of Akron’s bicentennial celebrations, a look back at local history shows that in 1825 Wetmore and his crew built a dam and mills along the Cuyahoga, in 1875 citizens raised $25,000 to build the Soldiers’ Memorial Chapel at Glendale Cemetery, in 1925 pranksters spiked a luncheon with hot tricks—and in 1975 police investigated a tip on Patty Hearst while in 2000 officers arrested 20 people after a three‐month drug investigation.

Today, Browns executives—Jimmy and Dee Haslam, GM Andrew Berry, and coach Kevin Stefanski—are in South Florida for NFL owners meetings and will speak with beat writers about the quarterback lineup, draft targets, and future stadium plans following a 3-14 season.

Their discussion is expected to offer upcoming details on how the team will address its roster challenges.
