Browns QB Battle: Sanders vs Watson

0:00On March 23, the Cleveland Browns use free agency to rebuild their offensive line but skipped adding a quarterback. That leaves Shadur Sanders into Sean Watson in a straight-up battle for the starting spot heading into 2026. Financial hurdles blocked moves like trading from Malik Willis or a veteran. Still, the front office keeps scouting Draft Allen, including Alabama's Thai Simpson, who showed quick reads, strong arm, and mobility, despite limited, starts. Sanders' rookie year started rough after sliding to the fifth round, picked 144th overall. He got his chance late, starting seven games with a thousand 400 passing yards, seven touchdowns, ten interceptions, and a pro bowl nod that turned heads.
