The consensus is that the Cleveland Browns simply have too many quarterbacks on the roster right now to carry them all into the 2025 season. The team, however, might feel differently about that.

Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry addresses a potential quarterback trade. Rookie Shedeur Sanders is competing with Dillon Gabriel and veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett for the starting job.

The Browns will lean heavily on running backs Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson. Harold Fannin Jr. is the likely second tight end. Mason Graham should be a Day 1 starter. Second-round pick Carson Schwesinger, however, might be the draft pick they need to hit the quickest.

Fans and analysts have assumed ever since the Cleveland Browns added rookies Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel to their quarterback room via the 2025 draft that the club could trade or cut veteran Joe Flacco or 2022 first-round selection Kenny Pickett so that the Browns can have both Sanders and Gabriel on their active roster in September.

Despite seeing limited reps this Spring, one NFL insider thinks that the Browns starting job is Joe Flacco's to lose.

What quarterbacks will end up making the Browns' 53-man roster this NFL season? Our latest projection after minicamp is in.

During the Cincinnati Bengals minicamp, veteran quarterback Joe Flacco was seen giving rookie Shedeur Sanders some pointers, something some may not have expected after Flacco's earlier statement about mentorship.
