Browns Announce Open QB Competition, Watson Included

Cleveland Browns OC Todd Monken confirmed an open quarterback competition for 2026, including Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders, and Dillon Gabriel. Watson, 30, is in the final year of his contract and hasn't played since October 2024 due to Achilles tears. Monken stated it's unfair to rule Watson out if healthy, acknowledging his past elite play, and emphasized that players decide who plays.
