Browns QB Battle: Watson, Sanders, Gabriel

0:00On March 11, the Cleveland Browns face a big question at quarterback heading into 2026 with no clear starter yet. Their current roster includes the Sean Watson, Shadour Sanders, and Dylan Gabriel. Setting up what looks like a wide open battle for the top spot. The team could shake things up by targeting a new signal caller through free agency, a trade, or next month's NFL draft. Right now, Sanders and Watson appear as the frontrunners, with high hopes that the young rookie can build on his promising first year and claim the role-long term. Insiders are buzzing with talk that Watson might actually open the season as the week one starter. New head coach Todd Monkin has expressed confidence that his staff can unlock the elite level Watson showed years ago before his recent struggles. Late last season, after recovering from a ruptured Achilles, Watson stood out in practice as the most skilled option among the quarterbacks, including Sanders, Gabriel, and even veteran Bailey Zappy. That talent could give him a real edge this spring.

1:00A lot will unfold over the coming months, but this competition promises to shape the Browns future at the game's most crucial position.
