Overview

  • The Browns have four quarterbacks—Joe Flacco, Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel and Kenny Pickett—vying for two active roster spots and a potential starter role.
  • NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah predicts one of the rookies, Sanders or Gabriel, will win the Week 1 job over the veterans.
  • Joe Flacco currently holds the edge as a proven fallback option if the Browns hesitate to start a rookie in their season opener.
  • Shedeur Sanders has impressed during OTAs and minicamp but faces scrutiny over recent speeding citations that could factor into roster cuts.
  • Cleveland must trim its quarterback room to three before finalizing its 53-man roster, with the depth chart to be set during training camp.
