Browns Face Quarterback, Trade, and Extension Decisions

The Cleveland Browns enter training camp with a competitive quarterback group featuring Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders, with no clear favorite for the starting role. Debate persists about whether the team will reduce its quarterback depth via trades or cuts, and Sanders has emerged as a rumored trade candidate due to his popularity. While Pickett and Flacco have high expectations, doubts remain about the long-term solution at quarterback, prompting speculation the Browns could target a quarterback early in the 2026 NFL Draft. The team is considering contract extensions for Pro Bowl tight end David Njoku and is evaluating potential trades for star wide receiver Terry McLaurin, though no significant transactions are currently expected. Defensive back Greg Newsome II may also be traded amid contract and playing time concerns. The Browns' offseason roster moves and decisions in training camp will influence both their immediate and future prospects.
