Browns Tap Byron Storer as Special Teams Coordinator Under Todd Monken

The move signals an urgent push to repair a unit that cost Cleveland games in 2025.

Overview

  • Storer arrives from the Packers as a first-time NFL special teams coordinator, replacing Bubba Ventrone, who took the same job with the Rams.
  • Monken is retaining running backs coach Duce Staley as he blends holdovers with new hires during his early staff construction.
  • Storer is a longtime Rich Bisaccia protege with stops in Tampa Bay, San Diego/Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Green Bay coaching special teams.
  • Cleveland’s third phase struggled last season, allowing three return touchdowns and ranking last in punt return yards allowed.
  • Storer inherits kicker Andre Szmyt, who finished 23-of-25 on field goals after early misses, while the team weighs next steps with free-agent punter Corey Bojorquez.
