What is the benefit of sticking with Winston for the final four games — or at least next week against Kansas City? They also talk about kicker Dustin Hopkins, who missed two more field goals on Sunday. Why did the Browns rush an extension on Hopkins? What do they do about Hopkins moving forward?

The Browns are once again facing changes this offseason after getting off to a 2-7 start, raising questions about the future of the organization across the board.

Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe answer questions from our Football Insider subscribers on Wednesday’s Orange and Brown Talk podcast, starting with Dorsey‘s future and what factors will play into whether he’s here beyond this season or not.

Browns left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. outlined on Monday the events that led to him losing his job to Dawand Jones and said he made a “business decision” prior to the Browns' win over the Ravens.

Browns GM Andrew Berry held his bye week press conference on Sunday and offered few clues as to what the Browns will do this offseason with quarterback Deshaun Watson. That doesn't mean that Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe weren't going to go sleuthing through what he said. Thursday's Orange and Brown Talk podcast starts with the three of them discussing what Berry said about his quarterback and Watson's future with the team and if he gave any indication about what it could look either keeping Watson or moving on from him. Then they talk about what Berry said about Kevin Stefanski and the tackle situation. Lance Reisland joins the pod in the second half to talk about what went wrong on the blown coverages against the Chargers, why Jameis Winston struggled and why the run game can't get going before he asks his question of the week and they do an impromptu Halloween candy draft.
