Browns face ongoing QB depth concerns despite appointing starter
Summary

The Cleveland Browns are dealing with a significant quarterback dilemma as they navigate a competition between Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson. Although a decision for QB1 is imminent, the resolution will not alleviate issues concerning their crowded quarterback roster consisting of four players. Dillon Gabriel, the Browns' 2025 third-round pick, and rookie Taylen Green add more complexity to the situation, making it uncertain who may be cut or traded as the season approaches. The team's upcoming decision on QB1 will be closely followed, but the challenge of managing the depth chart will persist.
