Browns Face Uncertain 2025 Quarterback Competition

The Cleveland Browns are entering the 2025 NFL season with a crowded quarterback competition among Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders. Analysts now view Flacco as the likely Week 1 starter due to his experience and last year's success, though concerns remain about his durability. Trade speculation surrounds all four quarterbacks, with Flacco linked to the Raiders, Pickett to the Cowboys, and Sanders in hypothetical deals to the Colts, though most expect the Browns to keep at least Flacco and Pickett through training camp. The Browns are seeking stability at quarterback after years of uncertainty, and roster moves could happen if no clear starter emerges. The team's quarterback depth chart will be determined during preseason competition. The Browns' QB situation is seen as one of the league's most intriguing storylines for 2025.
