Browns Stay With Rookie Dillon Gabriel as Early 2026 Mock Links Team to QB Dante Moore

Reporting indicates a deliberate timeline for Shedeur Sanders to see the field.

Overview

  • Cleveland is 1-5, Gabriel is expected to start again Sunday against Miami, and Joe Flacco has been traded to the Bengals.
  • Gabriel is 0-2 as a starter with modest early production, including a Week 6 loss to the Steelers.
  • Shedeur Sanders remains QB2, with Ian Rapoport reporting he will play only when fully prepared with a full practice week and a tailored plan.
  • The Athletic’s Akron Jackson suggested Sanders is unlikely to start before December.
  • ESPN’s Jordan Reid projected the Browns to take Oregon quarterback Dante Moore at No. 3 in 2026, and Heavy noted Cleveland also holds Jacksonville’s first-round pick that could help facilitate a move up.
