The Browns have been dealing with a quarterback curse since the turn of the century and even within the last decade, they've got a long list of failed QBs.

Fans and analysts have assumed ever since the Cleveland Browns added rookies Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel to their quarterback room via the 2025 draft that the club could trade or cut veteran Joe Flacco or 2022 first-round selection Kenny Pickett so that the Browns can have both Sanders and Gabriel on their active roster in September.

The Browns will lean heavily on running backs Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson. Harold Fannin Jr. is the likely second tight end. Mason Graham should be a Day 1 starter. Second-round pick Carson Schwesinger, however, might be the draft pick they need to hit the quickest.

What quarterbacks will end up making the Browns' 53-man roster this NFL season? Our latest projection after minicamp is in.

Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry addresses a potential quarterback trade. Rookie Shedeur Sanders is competing with Dillon Gabriel and veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett for the starting job.

While it took Mayfield a couple of years to find his footing, he has landed well with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He has become the franchise quarterback for the NFC franchise and has led them to back-to-back playoff appearances while putting up big-time production.

The former head man for the Cleveland Browns didn't hold back when discussing his former team, and many will take exception to his comments.
