Overview

  • The Browns have rotated Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders through OTAs and minicamp as they search for a Week 1 starter.
  • NFL Network analyst Gregg Rosenthal and FanDuel Sportsbook odds favor Flacco over Pickett after he led the Browns to a 4-1 playoff stint in 2023.
  • Wide receiver Diontae Johnson has backed Pickett as an early favorite, citing his recent Super Bowl experience with the Eagles.
  • Cleveland is weighing an unconventional strategy to carry all four quarterbacks into training camp and potentially trade one veteran before the NFL’s November deadline.
  • Third-round pick Dillon Gabriel and fifth-rounder Shedeur Sanders remain under evaluation as developmental prospects for future seasons.
