Jeudy’s 2025 season was a clear downturn from his 2024 Pro Bowl form. He totaled 602 receiving yards on 50 catches, and Pro Football Focus graded him at 58.5, ranking him 98th among 128 NFL receivers. The Browns can’t part ways with him yet, locked into a three-year, $52 million contract despite the slump.
The team’s strategy appears to bank on reclaiming Jeudy’s prior level of play, hoping the “old” Jeudy is still inside the current player and can be coaxed back through coaching and offensive system changes.
New Browns coach Monken was asked about the offense and suggested a meaningful difference could come from Jeudy, saying the team expects to get Jeudy back to two years ago, a re-leap that would significantly impact the unit. He indicated the plan is for Jeudy to be a catalyst again.
Alongside Jeudy, the broader offense faced major issues in 2025, finishing among the NFL’s worst units. Jeudy led the team with just 50 catches, while the six-man receiving group totaled 117 catches— fewer than a standalone Rams receiver, underscoring the overall need for improved playmaking.
Monken also stressed growth in the quarterback room, highlighting Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson as key factors for a rebound. He cited their playmaking ability and confidence, suggesting that improved quarterback play could unlock meaningful gains for Jeudy and the offense as a whole.
