Browns Keep QB1 Open as Berry Sets Expectations for Shedeur Sanders and Invites Watson to Compete

Cleveland will stage an offseason competition under new coach Todd Monken with the option to add another quarterback.

Overview

  • GM Andrew Berry said there is no timetable to name a Week 1 starter and that every quarterback must earn the job.
  • Berry outlined goals for Shedeur Sanders that include cleaner decision-making, better efficiency, explosive play creation and mastering Monken’s offense.
  • Deshaun Watson remains in the mix as he rehabs, with Berry noting the veteran has been working hard and will compete for the role.
  • The Browns are not ruling out acquiring another quarterback via free agency, trade or the 2026 draft.
  • Cleveland currently has three quarterbacks under contract for 2026 — Watson, Sanders and Dillon Gabriel — with the depth chart to be settled after offseason work and training camp.
