Browbs Uncertain at QB Despite Talent

New Browns coach Todd Monken didn't have the luxury of choosing his first NFL head coaching job, taking the position in Cleveland despite inheriting a volatile quarterback situation. The organization decided not to pursue other options in free agency or the draft, choosing instead to evaluate what they have with veteran Deshaun Watson and second-year pro Shedeur Sanders.

Watson, 30, hasn't played well since 2020 and has appeared in just 19 games over the past five seasons. Sanders, despite hype, showed poor accuracy as a rookie with a 56.6% completion percentage and more interceptions (10) than touchdowns (7). While the Browns have talent elsewhere, particularly on defense, their future quarterback will likely come from the 2027 NFL draft. forestarrow.help
