The quarterback competition in the Cleveland Browns is getting more intense by the day. Without a doubt, it’s the most watched training camp in franchise history-especially since their return to Cleveland in 1999. All of this is thanks to their selection of Shedeur Sanders, one of the most high-profile figures in the United States.

The battle shows no signs of stopping. Even though Browns Head Coach Kevin Stefanski has said there is an “open competition” for the starting quarterback role, deep down he knows that-at least for the start of the season-he’ll go with Joe Flacco, the QB he knows best after working together and making the playoffs in the 2023 season.
This story still has many chapters to unfold. By the way, it’s very likely that one of the four quarterbacks will not remain on the team by the start of the season. According to reports, the number one candidate to be traded or cut is Kenny Pickett-but we’ll see what happens in the coming weeks.
Is Shedeur Sanders the answer for the Cleveland Browns at QuarterBack?
The Cleveland Browns have reached an agreement with Dillon Gabriel
At last, the Cleveland Browns have reached an agreement with Dillon Gabriel, who has signed a rookie contract with the team. The former Oregon quarterback agreed to a four-year, $6.2 million deal. As of now, the Browns have five quarterbacks under contract on the roster.
Many might wonder who the five are, as recently only four have been in the spotlight-those present at OTAs: Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders. But there is indeed a fifth, and he might go down as the biggest mistake in Cleveland Browns history: Deshaun Watson.
Remember, in 2022, the Browns gave Deshaun Watson a five-year, $230 million fully guaranteed contract, and it has turned out to be a complete failure. He’s currently injured, and it’s highly unlikely he’ll ever play another snap in a Browns uniform.
As for Dillon Gabriel, he joined the Browns as the 94th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. He had a remarkable college career, starting 63 games across three different universities: three years at UCF (University of Central Florida), two seasons at Oklahoma, and a final year at Oregon.
In his college career, Gabriel threw for 18,722 yards and had a 46-17 record as a starter. He had a strong 2024 season, becoming a Heisman Trophy finalist and winning Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year after throwing for 3,857 yards and 30 touchdowns.
Gabriel has drawn a lot of attention since becoming a Browns quarterback, and he’s received both praise and criticism. Now it’s up to him to prove the talent he showed-especially with the Oregon Ducks-and earn respect and a place in the NFL.
