The Browns have plenty of quarterbacks on the roster, but don’t seem ready to name a starter yet.
Browns head coach Todd Monken was noncommittal about his starting quarterback between Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson when asked Tuesday at the end of mandatory minicamp.
“I’m not there yet,” Monken told reporters. “I just don’t see it after the way Shedeur has played and the way Deshaun’s played. They’ve both played well enough to earn the right to compete to start. ”Browns head coach Todd Monken gestures during the teams’ NFL football practice on June 9, 2026, in Berea, Ohio.
, and has said he would like to be able to name a starting quarterback and have a defined depth chart by the start of training camp. On Tuesday, Sanders took all the starting reps in 11-on-11 drills, and Watson had his reps with the second-team offense. Wednesday, Monken said, first-team reps will belong to Watson, and they will be split between Sanders and Watson on Thursday.
, the Garrett trade emphasizes the lack of clarity for the franchise’s overall direction, which in theory could play into the quarterback decision. Monken said he believes the Browns have “two starting-level quarterbacks,” and that until one separates itself, he doesn’t want to name a starter quite yet.
“The quarterbacks’ progression, just in the short time that we’ve been out there so far, is very encouraging, and we’re very excited about that. ” The Browns went 5-12 last season, finishing fourth in the AFC North, as Sanders, in his rookie campaign, threw for 1,400, with seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions. The Browns also have 2025 draft pick Dillon Gabriel and 2026 pick Taylen Green in the QB room. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect
