Browns Eyeing Murray as Quarterback Solution

0:00On March 12, Cleveland Brown's General Manager, Andrew Berry, has made smart moves to fix the offensive line. He traded a 5th round pick to the Houston Texans for starting right tackle, Titus Howard. Berry also signed former Pro Bowl Guard and center Elton Jenkins plus free agent guard Zion Johnson. These additions fill big gaps up front. Still, the biggest question mark remains at quarterback heading into 2026. Kyler Murray, the number one overall pick from the 2019 draft, is visiting the Minnesota Vikings today. He wants a starting job right away. But his camp is also checking backup roles for next year, with teams that might need a starter in 2027. A deal with Minnesota could happen soon, yet other options are on the table. Fans and analysts see the Browns as a natural fit for Murray. The team refused to name Shedder Sanders, the starter at the NFL Combine. New head coach Todd Monkin left the door open for Deshaun Watson, and what could be his final season there?

1:01Cleveland clearly needs a long-term franchise quarterback. Murray brings strong numbers from seven seasons with the Cardinals. He threw 121 touchdown passes against just 60 interceptions. He also ran for 32 scores. Pair that with Monkin's track record, he helped Lamar Jackson earn a second MVP and led the top offense in the league. The Browns have upgraded weapons around the position too. If the Vikings pass, Cleveland stands out as a prime spot. The Cardinals cover Murray's 36 million, $800,000 salary next year, so Barry could snag him cheap. This keeps the Browns in the quarterback hunt with real upside.
