Browns Seek QB Options Amid Russell Wilson's Contract Demands

The Cleveland Browns are actively seeking a quarterback after trading for Kenny Pickett, but many analysts believe he is not a starting-caliber player. The team has shown strong interest in Russell Wilson, who recently visited Cleveland, especially after the New York Giants signed Jameis Winston, which may have eliminated one of Wilson's potential landing spots. However, Wilson's reported asking price of $20 to $30 million raises concerns about whether the Browns can afford him, given their current financial situation and the need to avoid long-term commitments. Alternatives like Carson Wentz are being considered, but analysts warn that signing Wentz would be a significant mistake, as he has not been a viable starter since 2022. The Browns may also draft a rookie quarterback, but analysts argue they would be better off sticking with Pickett than signing Wentz. Overall, the Browns face a precarious situation in solidifying their quarterback position for the upcoming season.
