Browns HC Kevin Stefanski reveals QB plans amid Shedeur Sanders and Dillion Gabriel's rookie battle in OTAs

The Cleveland Browns have a major problem at the QB position. This offseason, they signed Joe Flacco to a contract, traded for Kenny Pickett, and drafted both Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel. Furthermore, the Browns already had Deshaun Watson on the roster, despite him being out due to two torn achilles tendon injuries.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski sat down with ESPN Cleveland on Friday and discussed what the organization is looking to do with their QB's in training camp this year.

"Certainly you have to decide what order the guys are going to go out. And sometimes it may be player X, player Y, whatever it is. The big thing for us is making sure we give the guys enough reps that they need. So making sure that they have enough where both, it's two-fold, both they're learning the system they're developing, and we're evaluating them, we're finding out more about them."

Stefanski then continued by making clear that he does not anticipate all four healthy QB's to get an equal share of the reps this offseason.

"So that's where I said before it's not going to be. Everybody gets 25% of these reps. That's not how it's going to be. We want to give everybody enough reps where we can learn more about them and prepare them to get ready to play." Stefanski said.

Obviously, the most interesting decision for fans will be where Sanders and Gabriel land on the depth chart when training camp and the regular season opens. After a shocking NFL Draft process for Sanders, one where he dropped into the fifth round after being projected as a top ten overall pick, it is unclear what role, if any he will have in Cleveland next season.

Who is favored to start the season as the Cleveland starting QB?

The Browns have remained quite about who they plan to start in 2025 at QB. While some within the organization may know who will likely start in Week 1, it appears as though it will be a legitimate competition between all four healthy QB's.

According to Bet365, Joe Flacco is the current favorite to be leading the Cleveland Browns when the regular season opens in 2025. His current odds to start Week 1 are -120, followed by Kenny Pickett at +300, Shedeur Sanders at +300, Dillon Gabriel at +1000, and Deshaun Watson at +5000.
