Sam is in good situation. Kevin O’ Connell is great with QBs. He can further develop Sam and Sam is bound to get a chance of some playing time; as JJ McCarthy will have ups and downs in his first year starting. Sam may get another chance in the future or have a nice backup career.


Shedeur , if he’s really a good qb; gets a chance to rise in Cleveland’s QB room. Time for him to show, it was other non football things that caused him to slide.

Watson still has 2 more years on that deal; so Browns are stuck with the contract. He won’t be healed from injury until later in season. He’s likely never playing a down for Browns again. So he’s a non factor.

I think Pickett is odd man out and will be traded or released before training camp. He will likely asked to be released.

Flacco is vet qb Browns like. He lead to playoffs 2 years ago. Big reason they brought him back. He sucked in Indy last year and likely has little left in tank.

Browns long term qb will come from either Gabriel or Sanders ultimately winning the job and getting playing time later in the season.

And just think, Browns have 2 #1’s in 2026 and could trade up next year for a QB if needed.


The vet qb market is settled for now, if Rodgers plays with Steelers. Cousins will be stuck as a backup , unless someone gets hurt in summer. Now if Rodgers says no to Steelers; then I can see Cousins going there.
