Cleveland Browns Weigh Trading Quarterbacks, Veteran Cornerback

The Cleveland Browns face significant roster decisions in 2025 amid an uncertain quarterback situation and limited financial flexibility. Key veterans like quarterbacks Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett, along with cornerback Greg Newsome II, are potential trade candidates as the team aims to prioritize younger rookies Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel to develop their quarterback depth. The Browns' roster competition is intense, with players such as Myles Harden, Nathaniel Watson, and Lorenzo Thompson needing strong training camps to secure or enhance their roles. Despite these challenges, the Browns boast standout talents like Myles Garrett, who anchors their defense and is viewed as a potential Defensive Player of the Year candidate, and rookies like Sanders who bring both athletic promise and media attention. The team’s financial constraints and positional logjams make it likely that cost-cutting moves and trades will continue before the season starts. Meanwhile, Browns fans and new local sports figures, like Cavaliers player Lonzo Ball, are excited to see the impact of key players such as Garrett and Sanders in the upcoming season.
