Browns may trade Dillon Gabriel as preseason approaches
Summary

The Cleveland Browns face decisions regarding quarterback Dillon Gabriel ahead of the 2026 season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars. NFL analyst Kristopher Knox suggests Gabriel should be placed on the trade block, given his limited impact last season, where he recorded 937 passing yards, seven touchdowns, and two interceptions. Despite speculation, Gabriel remains focused on improvement and preparing for the upcoming games. If he performs well in preseason, it could attract interest from quarterback-needy teams.
