Browns Rumors: OC Todd Monken's Arrival 'Has Not Gone as Smoothly as Planned'

Todd Monken's takeover of the Cleveland Browns offense "has not gone as smoothly as planned," according to NFL Network's Mike Silver.

The result? "Freddie Kitchens playing a greater role in spearheading the offense than originally intended," Silver added.

Kitchens spent 2018 as the Browns offensive coordinator before being promoted to head coach in January, so it would stand to reason that he is stepping in to aid Monken in adjusting to an offense that he is already familiar with.

Monken served as offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season.
