This year, the Cleveland Browns have once again revamped the quarterback position – but without a clear direction. Right now, there are four quarterbacks on the roster, all different from those the Browns had last season, and Head Coach Kevin Stefanski has consistently said there’s an “open competition.”

Last season, they had Deshaun Watson, Jameis Winston, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, and Bailey Zappe. Now, they have Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, who has made the Cleveland Browns a focal point of attention in the NFL.
Most insiders believe Joe Flacco has the edge to be the Browns’ starting quarterback, after playing the last five games of the 2023 season with them – throwing 13 touchdown passes, winning 4 games, losing only 1, and taking the team to the playoffs.
However, one insider believes Kenny Pickett might have the upper hand
All the buzz has been about Shedeur Sanders, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel – but no insiders have backed Kenny Pickett, except for wide receiver Diontae Johnson, who said a few days ago that the former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback is Kevin Stefanski’s favorite.
Lance Reisland, a writer for cleveland.com, believes Kenny Pickett is the quarterback with the strongest case to become the starter – and that Kevin Stefanski knows it.
“Pickett is big and athletic, he is smart and can find advantageous matchups. Stefanski sees a guy who can thrive in his scheme,” said Lance Reisland.
Remember, Kenny Pickett was a first-round pick by the Steelers in 2022. In two seasons, he played 25 games, threw 13 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions. Last year, he was a backup for the Eagles, where he won a Super Bowl with the team.

Could the U-turn of Brighton’s SIXTH-CHOICE centre-back impact the PL title?
Premier League title races always have those little moments that are singular but impactful. It could be a transfer, an injury, a quote in a press conference or even something as minor as a substitution.Have we already seen one this season in the Deadline Day saga involving Brighton's SIXTH-CHOICE centre-back? Igor Julio went into this summer transfer window knowing he was surplus to requirements. Brighton signed two centre-backs in Olivier Boscagli and Diego Coppola early in the window and with Lewis Dunk, Jan Paul van Hecke and Adam Webster already in the building, the Brazilian was a long way down in Fabian Hurzeler's thoughts.But Crystal Palace came calling on Deadline Day and that move was set to have huge consequences at the top of the table. Eagles captain Marc Guehi was the subject of a late bid from Liverpool and […]

2025 NFL Preview: Washington Commanders
Armed with an elite young quarterback, multiple rushing threats and a potentially dynamic receiving corps, the Commanders should possess a high-flying offense once again in 2024. Jayden Daniels finished his rookie season ranked fifth among qualified quarterbacks in PFF overall grade. He and the team’s running back unit combined to rank sixth in the league in PFF rushing grade. Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel bring unique and dynamic skill sets at wide receiver. Expect the Commanders to score plenty of points again this season.Washington’s defense has some catching up to do relative to the team's offense. The greatest concern is a defensive line that finished 31st in the NFL in PFF grade last season. Few major additions were made in the offseason. The hope is that a young player like defensive tackle Jer'Zhan Newton can step up in year two […]
