Browns urged to release quarterback Dillon Gabriel amid roster decisions
Summary

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.
