Browns Not Naming a Leader in the QB Battle
Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken wants to name a starting quarterback before the start of training camp at the end of July, but he said at the end of last week that he's not ready to name a leader in the competition, according to Zac Jackson of The Athletic. Deshaun Watson (Achilles) and Shedeur Sanders are the primary competitors for the job. Watson missed all of 2025 while recovering from a twice-torn right Achilles tendon, but reports so far have suggested that he's looking great and could have the upper hand over Sanders. Sanders, the son of former NFL star Deion Sanders, fell to the fifth round in last year's draft. He ended up starting the final seven games for the Browns in his rookie season, and he predictably struggled. "It's my job to let it play out," Monken said of the team's QB competition. In a minicamp practice recently, Watson was first in line as the QBs went through drills, but Monken said the practice script called for Sanders to take more total reps. The order of the QB reps will continue to change going forward. Watson's dynasty fantasy value might not be dead yet, and although he has much more experience and success in the NFL than Sanders, he has been hurt and unreliable in his time in Cleveland.
