Browns consider quarterback options outside their current roster
Summary

The Cleveland Browns are exploring quarterback options as neither Shedeur Sanders nor Deshaun Watson has secured the starting position during training camp and two preseason games. With uncertainty surrounding their current options, the team may look to acquire a quarterback from other teams. Potential candidates include J.J. McCarthy from the Vikings, Davis Mills from the Texans, and Andy Dalton from the Eagles, among others. Cleveland's decision will likely depend on their aspirations for the upcoming season and the feasibility of trade negotiations.
