Monken's Quarterback Shakeup: Browns' Spring Battle

0:00On March 31st, Cleveland Brown's new head coach Todd Munkin is shaking up the quarterback competition this off-season. Unlike last year when a drag into training camp with uneven battles for starter and backup, Munkin is clear from the jump no equal reps for the guys on the roster. He's planning to hand out practice time based on what makes sense for evaluation, giving more to those who show up strong early. The main players right now are second-year quarterbacks, Shadeur Sanders, who closed out last season as the starter, and Dylan Gabriel, who got six. Stars before a concussion, sidelined him. Fans and analysts are buzzing because DeShawn Watson won't be back until 2026 after his Achilles injury, so this battle shapes the teams. Immediate future. General manager Andrew Berry even hinted they might add a younger arm to the mix by next month. Munkin wants a clear number one quarterback locked in by the end of spring practices, basing the initial death chart on last year's finish and past.

1:00Showings. That puts Sanders in a good spot, but he's not handing him the keys just yet. Reps stay uneven daily to keep the pressure on. Whatever shakes out, this setup promises real competition without the summer chaos, setting the browns up to build momentum heading into camp.
