Watson Edges Sanders for Browns QB Job

0:00On April 29, the Cleveland Browns are leaning hard toward Deshaan Watson as they're starting quarterback for the upcoming season, even with Shadour. Sanders in the mix. Sources say Watson pulled ahead after voluntary mini-camp, putting him on the inside track for the week-one job over the 2025 Pro, Boller. Earlier this week, Cleveland.com reporter Mark K. Cavitt dropped the news that Watson has the edge in this two-man race. The team is shelling out tens of millions for him this year, so it makes sense they're giving him the first crack. Fans and analysts are buzzing because this shifts away from building around Sanders' potential. Instead, the Browns want Watson out there to better evaluate their offensive line and receivers, keeping things steady rather than risky. Meanwhile, new offensive coordinator Todd Munkin plans to decide by mid-June, giving Sanders just over a month of practices to flip the script. He struggled a bit learning a fresh system as a second-year guy. Unless Sanders lights it up in these sessions, expect Watson under-center when the season
