Browns' QB Battle: Watson, Sanders, Gabriel

About this episode

The Cleveland Browns have made a significant change by hiring Todd Monken as their new head coach, following the dismissal of Kevin Stefanski. The teams quarterback situation is now a hot topic, with Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, and Deshaun Watson all vying for the starting position ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. Last season was tumultuous at the quarterback position, with Joe Flacco, Gabriel, and Sanders all taking turns. Owner Jimmy Haslam is optimistic about Watsons prospects under Monken, who has a history of improving quarterbacks. Despite the teams investment in Watson, who signed a $230 million deal and was traded for three first-round picks in 2022, his performance has been inconsistent due to injuries. General manager Andrew Berry has stated that all quarterbacks will receive an equal opportunity in training camp. If Watson performs well, he could secure the QB1 role and potentially end the teams quarterback carousel.

It's March 31st. This is NFL News Today, your AI-powered source for everything in NFL. The Cleveland Browns just shook things up by firing head coach Kevin Stofanski and bringing in Todd Monkin as the new guy. Now the big talk in town is their quarterback mess, with Shadour Sanders, Dylan Gabriel and Dishon Watson all fighting for the starting spot, heading into the 2026 NFL Draft. Last season was a wild ride at the position. They kicked off with Joe Flacco, switched to Gabriel midstream, and handed it to Sanders late after Watson sat out with an injury. Owner Jimmy Haslam is hyped about Watson getting a real shot under Monkin, calling it a fresh start, with an offensive-minded coach who's boosted all. Kinds a quarterbacks before. Haslam says Watson's in the best shape of recent years and ready to roll at offseason workouts on April 7th. That massive $230 million deal and trade for three first round picks back in 2022 hasn't panned out yet due to injuries and shaky play.

But General Manager Andrew Berry insists every quarterback gets a fair shaking camp. Sanders and Gabriel had rocky rookie years without big leaps, so if Watson balls out, he could snag that QB1 roll and turn this carousel around for. Good.
