As the Cleveland Browns evaluate their roster this summer, discussions surrounding the future of quarterback Dillon Gabriel are intensifying. Gabriel, a third-round pick in the 2025 draft, finds himself behind Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders in a competitive QB battle. Analyst Moe Moton suggests the Browns cut Gabriel, a move deemed 'horrendous' as it risks losing a young quarterback for free. While some believe trading him might yield a late-round draft pick, others see cutting him as poor business, citing his ability to manage games effectively despite a modest passer rating. The Browns may opt to hold onto four QBs as roster cuts approach.
