Browns QB Battle: Sanders, Watson, Gabriel

0:00On March 19th, the Cleveland Browns enter the 2026 offseason with just three healthy quarterbacks on the roster, down from four last, year and no obvious starter in sight. Head coach Todd Monkin has signaled an open competition among them, and so far, the team has not added anyone new during early free agency. Shadour Sanders appears to hold a slight edge after his rookie year, but a fully healthy Dishon Watson could challenge for the top spot right away. Dylan Gabriel rounds out the group as the likely third option, with the long offseason still offering chances for changes. Fans and analysts in Cleveland are all too used to this quarterback uncertainty, which has plagued the team for years. One recent prediction suggests all three could see starting action this season without anyone truly season control, leaving the Browns in the same spot next year. The team has bolstered its offense by hiring Monkin and upgrading the line, planning to spend draft picks on more skill players. Committing to one quarterback early, probably Sanders in his second year, makes sense to build stability, especially with a strong 2027, draft class looming if things falter.

1:09While Watson offers a wild car for playoffs, and Gabriel seems a long shot, ending the revolving door at the position could finally unlock the Browns. Potential across the roster.
