Browns Don't Plan to Trade Dillon Gabriel

Saturday, April 25, 12:42 PM

The Cleveland Browns have "no plans" to trade quarterback Dillon Gabriel, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. The Browns have a very crowded quarterback room once again. Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson are in the mix to start Week 1, Gabriel remains in a depth role, and Cleveland selected Arkansas quarterback prospect Taylen Green in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. The Browns likely won't carry four quarterbacks into the regular season, and it seems unlikely that they'd trade Sanders, Watson, or Green, so that would presumably position Gabriel as the odd man out. The former third-round pick out of Oregon played 10 games (six starts) as a rookie last year, completing 59.5% of his pass attempts for 937 passing yards, seven passing interceptions, and two interceptions. Schefter says Gabriel isn't a trade candidate, though. It will be interesting to see how the roster unfolds as the 2026 regular season gets closer. One potential solution is to carry Watson and Sanders as the active quarterbacks on gameday, make Gabriel the emergency third quarterback, and have Green start his career on the practice squad.

Shedeur Sanders Gets First Reps in Team Workouts

Wednesday, April 22, 1:09 PM

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders was the first quarterback to take reps during team drills at voluntary minicamp on Wednesday, according to Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official website. Although Sanders opened the workout, the Browns rotated through quarterbacks, with Deshaun Watson and Dillon Gabriel also getting heavily involved. "We were just rotating who was first reps," head coach Todd Monken said. "It was set up in a way for us to get a look at all of them. The plan was to have Shedeur have a few more reps, but to let Deshaun and Shedeur both have reps with the ones." We can't read too much into the breakdown of drills more than four months ahead of the regular season, especially when the difference in the number of reps was marginal. At the same time, it's interesting to see Monken establish a sort of pecking order, allowing Sanders, the less-experienced quarterback but incumbent starter, to get the first nod over Watson (Achilles), who has more experience but is returning from a lengthy injury absence.
