Overview
- General manager Andrew Berry praised Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson this week, calling him smart, driven and physically gifted after a Top 30 visit.
- Reporting indicates the Browns have not ruled out selecting Simpson with either No. 6 or No. 24, though projections differ on whether they will make that pick.
- Shedeur Sanders, Deshaun Watson and Dillon Gabriel are under contract for 2026, and new coach Todd Monken has set an open competition for the starting job.
- Simpson threw for 3,567 yards with 28 touchdowns and five interceptions in 2025, yet his 31-game college résumé raises concern about a small sample.
- ESPN’s Ben Solak has urged Cleveland to wait until 2027 for a quarterback and to use this year’s premium picks on the offensive line and wide receivers after the NFL’s worst offense in 2025.
