Cleveland Browns fans may be getting a bonus this summer as the team should be a strong candidate to play in the annual Pro Football Hall of Game in August.
The Browns last played in the game, which takes place in Canton during the run-up to the induction ceremonies for the latest Hall of Fame class, in 1999. With Joe Thomas being named on Thursday as a member of the Class of 2023, it would be a no-brainer for the league to select the Browns as one of the teams for the game.
Cleveland needs an opponent, of course, and the New York Jets appear to be a strong candidate as former Jets players Darrelle Revis and Joe Klecko are joining Thomas as members of this year’s enshrinement class, according to cleveland.
