Browns Not Naming a QB1 Coming Out of Minicamp
Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken said he won't name a starting quarterback coming out of mandatory minicamp, according to Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. "I'm not there yet," Monken said. Deshaun Watson and second-year signal-caller Shedeur Sanders will be splitting reps evenly during minicamp this week. The 30-year-old Watson has had a disastrous tenure with the team after signing a five-year, $230 million deal in March of 2022 due to suspension and a twice-torn Achilles tendon. The three-time Pro Bowler appears to have put his Achilles injury in the past, though, and reports this offseason suggest that Monken could be leaning toward giving Watson the reins in the starting role to begin the 2026 season. Watson certainly has the experience advantage over Sanders, who notably fell all the way to the fifth round in last year's NFL draft. Whoever wins the Browns' starting QB job will have a short leash and won't be much more than a shaky low-end QB2 option for fantasy managers in superflex leagues. Monken might not tell us who his starting QB is until sometime in training camp in August.
