Overview
- The Browns began voluntary minicamp Tuesday in Berea, where Shedeur Sanders took the first snaps and the largest share of first-team work as Deshaun Watson also logged starter reps.
- Todd Monken said the plan purposely gave Sanders extra work and that rep counts will shift over the next two days to evaluate all three quarterbacks.
- Watson, returning from a 2024 Achilles tear and still on a fully guaranteed $230 million deal, took first-team snaps in three of five team periods, according to the Associated Press.
- Dillon Gabriel worked mostly with the backups and sits third in the early rotation, while Sanders highlighted a "new vibe" under Monken after spending much of the offseason at the facility.
- With the draft set for Thursday and Cleveland holding picks No. 6 and No. 24, local chatter includes the possibility of drafting a passer like Ty Simpson and outside speculation about a Gabriel trade, though no moves have been announced.
