The Cleveland Browns are entering the 2025 NFL season with a quarterback situation that’s as crowded as it is uncertain.
With Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders all on the roster, the team is heading into the offseason with what may be the league’s most wide-open quarterback competition.
According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, the Browns coaching staff is committed to making the four-way battle as “fair and efficient” as possible.
That won’t be an easy task, considering the limitations of reps during organized team activities (OTAs), mandatory minicamp, and training camp. But the team has a plan: split the offense into two working units and rotate the quarterbacks accordingly.
Is Shedeur Sanders the answer for the Cleveland Browns at QuarterBack?
With 12 wide receivers and five tight ends currently on their 90-man offseason roster, the Browns believe they have enough pass catchers to ensure that all four quarterbacks will get meaningful reps.
In practices, the Browns are expected to group one veteran and one rookie together-for instance, Joe Flacco might be paired with Shedeur Sanders, while Kenny Pickett could rotate with Dillon Gabriel.
This ensures that both the older, experienced quarterbacks and the younger, developmental players work alongside similar levels of competition.
Finding a Week 1 starter while keeping long-term goals in mind
The Browns‘ biggest priority, of course, is identifying which of these four quarterbacks can be the Week One starter-a task made even more challenging given the lack of certainty at the position following Deshaun Watson‘s repeated injuries and inconsistencies.
While Flacco showed flashes of brilliance last season and led Cleveland to the playoffs in a fill-in role, his age is a long-term concern. Pickett, on the other hand, arrived via trade after failing to stick as a starter in Pittsburgh.
Then there are the rookies. Dillon Gabriel, who went undefeated in the regular season with Oregon and was selected in the third round, has impressed with accuracy and decision-making.
Shedeur Sanders, picked in the fifth round and the son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, enters the league with significant fanfare and media attention but must prove himself in an NFL system.

Best possible NFL flag football team for 2028 Olympics: Commanders’ Jayden Daniels could lead Team USA stars
The NFL is going international, not just with its 2025 schedule, which includes a record seven different overseas contests played across five different countries, but with the 2028 Olympics. While the next Summer Games will be held stateside in Los Angeles, the NFL is officially set to partake in worldwide competition when flag football makes its anticipated Olympics debut.NFL owners voted on Tuesday to allow player participation in the 2028 Summer Games, permitting up to one player per NFL team to represent America at the Olympics.

What we learned from the first Patriots OTA: Drake Maye struggles, Christian Gonzalez shines
FOXBORO, Mass. — Before the first open 11-on-11 practice of his tenure as New England Patriots head coach, Mike Vrabel didn’t hide from the importance (or lack thereof) in these voluntary sessions known as organized team activities.When asked how the Pats would accomplish the physicality needed during the season in these mid-May practices, Vrabel was blunt.Advertisement“I don’t think that you can. I don’t,” he said. “I think that you can focus on pad level. You can focus on hand placement, but physicality is not something that’s going to be identified over the course of the next four weeks.”That’s good context for digesting the first open Patriots practice of the 2025 season, one where the defense dominated and Drake Maye struggled.Here is a look at what we learned from the session.A rusty performance from MayeWe’re not here to put much stock […]

Giancarlo Stanton’s Yankees return still uncertain with no set date to begin rehab assignment
Giancarlo Stanton's return to the New York Yankees lineup is still an uncertainty.Manager Aaron Boone told reporters on Saturday that the veteran slugger has not yet been scheduled to begin a minor league rehab assignment. That was approximately 10 days after Stanton had faced live batting practice for the first time since being shut down during spring training due to tendinitis in both elbows.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWith Stanton not going through a typical spring training preparation for the 2025 season, a minor league rehab assignment will likely be necessary. However, Boone said that he wouldn't require a long rehab in the minors (the maximum allowed for position players is 20 days) because he doesn't play a defensive position.Stanton was transferred to the 60-day injured list on May 1 to open up a spot on the Yankees' 40-man roster.
