Cleveland Browns, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders

The Browns quarterback battle pits youth against experience and big-armed signal-callers against safer options.
Shedeur Sanders said that despite efforts to tear them apart, the quarterbacks in the crowded Cleveland Browns QB room are united.
Before the NFL draft, the Browns signed Kenny Pickett and Joe Flacco, who previously played for the team in 2023. Then during the draft, the Browns selected both Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders.
The Browns drills will likely be broken up into Pickett and Gabriel No. 1 and No. 2 and Flacco and Shedeur Sanders No. 3 and No. 4.
The Browns will hold OTAs and mandatory minicamp beginning next week and they still have big questions to answer on their roster.
The Giants brought in veterans Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson, kept Tommy DeVito, and then traded up at the end of the first round to select Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart. The Giants signed Wilson to a one-year deal worth $21 million with $10.5 million guaranteed, which screams starting quarterback money.
The quarterback question will be a big one for the Browns as they enter the 2025 season with a plethora of options at the position.
The Browns quarterback room is full of range. You have a familiar veteran in Joe Flacco, a new face in Kenny Pickett, though there’s familiarity to his days with the division-rival Steelers. Then the new draftees in Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders.
