Browns insider addresses rumors regarding Taylen Green and Shedeur Sanders

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson remains the starting quarterback for the upcoming season despite ongoing speculation regarding the team's depth chart. While Shedeur Sanders is officially listed as the primary backup, rumors suggest rookie Taylen Green could compete for backup snaps or special usage in wildcat packages. Insider Mary Kay Cabot noted that while there is no immediate change to the depth chart, Green's work during training camp has drawn attention from head coach Todd Monken. The team enters the season with four quarterbacks, including Dillon Gabriel who is currently on injured reserve. Sources indicate that while Green has impressed coaches with his preparation, the organization previously viewed him as a long-term prospect for 2027. Official plans remain focused on Watson as the starter for Week 1.
