Yesterday the Browns signed QB Tyler Huntley and Browns twitter went crazy. Of course, where was a valid reason, but some Browns aren’t happy unless they express their displeasure for the team on social media. If they had only waited 15 to 20 minutes, trusted people would’ve informed them of the reason for the signing. Both Kenny Pickett and Dillon Grabriel are dealing with hamstring injuries and might not be able to play Friday night against the Panthers. Joe Flacco will not be playing, nor should he be playing, not in a meaning less preseason game. So that leaves Shedeur Sanders as possibly the only available QB. Huntley is an insurance policy, that’s it. If Pickett or Gabriel take part in the combined practice Wednesday, then they could be available for Friday night. Huntley would then be released next week.

There is a game played by NFL front offices and player agents. They have to maintain great relationships if both are going to have a chance at being successful. By signing Huntley, the Browns allow him to show that he could still be a valuable backup in the league. It also is a great gesture to the agent who might represent a player the Browns might be interested in signing in the future. It also shows other agents Cleveland is willing to give players a chance, especially quarterbacks. The NFL overvalues the QB position. Tampa wants to sign (pending a physical today) Teddy Bridgewater. Bridgewater coached a high school team last year and is coming off his third retirement. This league is obsessed with quarterbacks, that’s why they are always over drafted, especially this year.

As for the Browns quarterback room, I still maintain Flacco is the starter, and the Browns will keep (barring injury) Dillon and Sanders. I just can’t see a scenario where keep four on the final 53-man roster. Because of the overvaluation of the QB position, someone will be interested in Kenny Pickett. Tyler Shuck is struggling in New Orleans. The Titans, because of the injury to Will Levis, really don’t have an experienced veteran backup to Cam Ward. There will be opportunities and teams interested in Pickett, but he has to play in practice and preseason games.

Friday night might provide an opportunity for Sanders to start. If he does, he’ll be starting against most of Carolina’s starters. If Pickett or Gabriel are healthy, one or both would play before Sanders. That would be ideal. The Browns are taking their time with Sanders because they see something in him that could bode well for the future. You really don’t want him have a setback because so far, he’s improved with every practice he’s had. Monday was his best day, and the coaching staff is very happy with his progress. He’s not being held back, there’s no conspiracy to make him fail and he’s learning the NFL game at a quick pace. He was never a first-round draft pick, he’s a developmental quarterback, who has the potential to be the Browns franchise QB in 2026. Just remember, if Sanders plays well Friday night, so did DTR and Josh Dobbs in preseason.

Finally, here’s some people who will tell you the truth about the Browns on social media, Matt Wilson (@CoachWilson66), Bill Sparks (@SparkScouting), Pete Smith (@_PeteSmith_), Jeff-LJ-Lloyd (@Jeff_LJ_Lloyd), Brad Ward (@WardonSports), Jake Burns (@jake_burns18), Zac Jackson (@AkronJackson), Fred Greetham (@FredGreetham9) and Lane Adkins (@TheRealLA_). Stay safe and Go Browns.

Yesterday, the Browns put the pads on for the first time in training camp. Things were popping. From what I’ve heard, the intensity is there. That makes me happy.

Salary Cap Update: The Browns are currently $19.1 million under the cap. Again as like I said last week, plenty of salary.

Kemmy Pickett’s Injury: Strained hamstring. Monday head coach Kevin Stefanski gave little information, which is normal despite what members of the media say. He did say Pickett would miss the latest block of practices, so he might be back next week.

Practice Monday: Having pads on made a big difference with the offensive line, although I’m still a little worried about depth. Barton Jackson took some reps at right tackle allowing Cornelius Lucus to concentrate on left tackle. While, Dawand Jones has lost a ton of weight (he’s at 292), the coaching staff is still in a wait and see mode on Jones. They want to make sure he stays in shape before he starts at left tackle. Last year before the injury he was +400 lbs. Luke Wypler looks like he can take over if Ethan Pocic gets hurt. My main concerns are Zak Zinter and Teven Jenkins. Zinter has been inconsistent, and Jenkins is still not all the way back from injury. If the Browns keep only three offensive tackles, Jenkins is key to that plan because he has played some LT. I still think they keep four.

The defensive line is going to be great. It would surprise me that anyone else besides Isaiah McGuire starts opposite of Myles Garrett. Linebacker Carson Schwesinger is a player. He’s bigger than most people think and he’s fast. Real fast. He’ll be fine with the green dot. Keep an eye on UDFA Donovan McMillon, he’s always around the ball. I’m not worried about the secondary. On offense, Jerry Jeudy and Diontae Johnson are a quarterback’s dream. Both run great routes and separate extremely well. Harold Fannin is going to be a weapon. Dylan Sampson is faster in real time than on film. Newly signed running back Toa Taua is making the best of his situation, He might be the short yardage, short term fix this team needs.

QB Battle: Because of Pickett’s injury, the rookies are getting more opportunities. Just be careful on what you see on social media. Sanders fans are making a big deal out of his last pass for a touchdown. If it were a real game, he would have been sacked prior to stepping up in the pocket. You can see the defensive lineman ease up. As for the preseason games, I expect both rookies to play in all three. I’m curious to see if Flacco plays in any of them, hopefully a little in the last one. Every year the starters play in the scrimmages then don’t play in the preseason game. I can’t wait for the pearl clutching from the media and the Stefanski haters to complain. I’m fully convinced most of the Sander’s fans on social media are not Browns fans. Finally, this team wants to win this year and Flacco gives them best chance to do that. Stay safe and Go Browns.

Browns veterans report to Berea today and Browns training camp officially starts tomorrow. Here’s some quick notes to get you in the mood.

Salary Cap: According to Over The Cap, the Browns are $17.6 million under the cap. I remind people of this, because despite the perception they have no cap room, they have cap room. They could create more room whenever they want, so salary is not a problem for this front office.

Quarterback Battle. Despite the false noise from everyone on social media and the stupidity of some members of the media, the Browns do not have the quarterbacks ranked in any order. It’s truly a competition. I’ve been told the team expects to be successful on the field in 2025 and will name the best starter to achieve that success. They don’t want to start a rookie, but if a rookie is their best option for success, so be it. They have not decided on a starter; Browns GM Andrew Berry has not told the coaches who will start and there is no depth chart. The situation will get clearer as training camp continues. As for the rookies, the coaching staff is very impressed with the progress both have made since OTA’s.

Running Back. The organization has told Quinshon Judkins to stay away from training camp to get his personal and legal situations in order. The team doesn’t want any distractions and are still gathering information about the incident. As for signing another running back, right now the team wants to see what they have. Jerome Ford will step in as the primary back for now. The only free agent I would be interested in would be Gus Edwards. He may be 30 years old, but he can still fine the end zone in short yardage situations. If the Browns feel the need to trade for a back, keep an eye on the Denver Broncos. They have five running backs in camp, Audric Estime, Blake Watson, Jaleel McLaughlin, R.J. Harvey and J.K. Dobbins. Harvey was drafted this year and Dobbins just recently signed. All are intriguing, but Watson would be the best option on this list.

Quick Hits. Right now, unless the team can sign a veteran tight end on the cheap, the Browns plan on giving Harold Fannin every opportunity to thrive in Kevin Stefanski’s offense. Despite the false rumors on social media, Mason Graham is not out of shape. He looks bigger but still weighs the same. The coaching staff is very pleased with his knowledge of the playbook and has absorbed everything thrown at him. He has been working with a pass-rush specialist and two had-fighting experts. Finally two URFA to watch in training camp, DE Adin Huntington and S Donovan McMillon. I’ve mentioned both in past writings.

Everyone enjoy the videos of players walking into the facilities and remember the media shows up tomorrow and so will the clown show. Stay safe and Go Browns.

Well Browns fans, we were so close to making it to training camp with a clean off-season, so close. As many of you know, Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins was arrested Saturday in Fort Lauderdale Florida. He spent the night in jail and was released Sunday after paying a $2500.00 bond. The charge was “touch or strike/battery/domestic violence.” According to Florida law it’s a first-degree misdemeanor. The victim appeared to have injuries, specially bruising. The woman and Judkins apparently were in a relationship in May of 2024 but were traveling to Florida as friends. The incident occurred on July 7, five days prior to the Judkins arrest. According to Judkin’s attorney, the victim was, “encouraged to take advantage of my client, and that’s why she made the after-the-fact report, quite frankly.” The five-day delay in pressing charges does raise an eyebrow, but sometimes victims of domestic violence have to be persuaded to file charges, it’s not an easy decision.

As of today, Judkins has yet to sign a contract, as do 29 other players taken in the second round. The two second rounders who have signed, including Browns linebacker Carson Schwesinger, both received fully guaranteed contracts. The rest of the second rounders are waiting for the same. Does this arrest complicate Judkins signing? Not really. I expect him to be signed prior to rookies reporting Friday. As for the NFL’s personal conduct policy, he will get suspended without pay and miss games. But this won’t happen until the legal process plays out. The league is investigating and that investigation will determine if Judkins is placed on the commissioner’s exempt list. According to the NFL rule book, ” Players who are placed by the Commissioner on the Exempt list prior to the determination of discipline and any appeal therefrom under the Personal Conduct Policy will be paid while on the Commissioner Exempt list and credited for the regular and post-season games missed against any suspension ultimately imposed.” Browns DT Michael Hall was placed on the exempt list last year on August 27 and was reinstated after missing five games on October 7.

Of course, there are fans and media members blaming Browns GM Andrew Berry. He did draft Perrion Winfrey and Michael Hall, two players with red flags, but Judkins had not red flags. He has never been in trouble before and was considered the second or third best running back in a very strong running back draft. All 32 teams found no problem in his past. This is why this is unusual behavior for Judkins. I’m going to wait till the details come out before I condemn a young man for this arrest. I’ll wait till I know the situation he was in and the circumstances of the charges. Other than that, I’m looking forward to training camp starting this week and by this time next week people will be arguing over who should start at quarterback. Stay safe and Go Browns.

It really isn’t difficult to figure out the Browns 2025 quarterback situation. When the team starts training camp later this month, the picture will quickly become clearer. Right now, the Cleveland media is really upset they have to wait. Let’s clear some erroneous reporting (clickbait). I’ll start with the notion Browns GM Andrew Berry will decide the starter. His contract clearly states he will pick the 53-man roster and head coach Kevin Stefanski contract clearly states he picks who plays on gameday. It’s been this way since they were hired and with their contract extensions. The owner makes no decisions, nor does the Chief Strategy Officer, not with this front office. Has the owner meddled in the past (Johnny Manzel), yes. The Watson trade was a cooperate effort, they all agreed a better QB was needed prior to the 2022 season. Yes, Haslam said the final buck rests with him because he writes the checks for the bucks. End of story. If you still don’t believe me, then prove it with facts not hearsay, rumors or conspiracy theories. Don’t bring up Tony Grossi’s article about Paul Depodesta, because that story disappeared quicker than the 2024 offense.

Some members of the local media are further debasing themselves by telling the fans Kenny Pickett will start because Andrew Berry wants him to start. They’re basing their theory on a feeling. Honest to God that’s what one said this morning. Based on a feeling. I have a feeling if the Guardians were playing better or the Cavs had made it to the NBA Finals, he wouldn’t have that feeling. Just an observation. Of course, his circular logic is they traded for Pickett, so Berry wants him to be the starter. Let’s go back in time to when the trade was made. At that time the Browns had a quarterback room consisting of a very injured Deshaun Watson and DTR. Yikes. No one knew if Kirk Cousins would be available. Sam Darnold would require a big contract. Russell Wilson was not an option and thank God Aaron Rogers wasn’t an option. As for the NFL Draft, at that time the consensus among draft experts was this was a bad quarterback draft and that has yet to be determined. Berry protected the team by trading for a former first round draft pick and getting rid of a former fifth-round draft pick. If Pickett can start, then so be it, but that will be determined in training camp and be decided by the head coach and the offensive coordinator. The same goes for Joe Flacco.

As for the Watson playing in 2025 fixation by another local reporter. It’s not going to happen. He tore his Achillies tendon not once but twice. I don’t give a damn how well he feels, the only reason he’s still on the roster is so they can dump him when his contract won’t hurt the team’s spending power and that’ll be the second day of the league in 2027. He’ll be a post June 1 cut so the team can spread his remaining contract over 2027 and 2028. For 2025, he’ll be placed on the PUP list and then transferred to the injured reserve. What they do with him in 2026 hasn’t been reveled yet, but I bet it will be creative.

Here’s what’s going to happen in my opinion. Pickett will get number one reps to start camp. Flacco doesn’t really need the early reps, he knows the offense. Besides, if Pickett looks good early, there’s a better chance they could trade him. All I know is what I’ve been told, the team is putting a priority on being successful in 2025. They don’t want either rookie to start and right now aren’t planning on starting either one. The Browns will play the best player that puts the team in a position to win on the field. That will be determined in training camp. I do know it will either be Flacco or Pickett. Stay safe and Go Browns.

Browns news, besides one traffic violation, has been few and far between and that’s the way I like it. Let’s get to training camp without any more distractions. The only Browns news I hope we see is the announcement of some extensions. David Njoku and Martin Emerson would be nice as would a couple of contract restructures, Denzel Ward and Ethan Pocic come to mind. Browns GM Andrew Berry usually gets these deals done prior to or the start of training camp. If you didn’t know, training camp starts July 18th for the rookies and July 22nd for the veterans. Last week I guessed July 21, so I wasn’t too far off.

Speaking of the salary cap and contracts, according to Over The Cap the Browns are $18.146 million under the salary cap. The restructures of Ward and Pocic would give the team more cap space to move to next year. As for contracts, Nick Chubb’s deal with the Texans has finally surfaced. He has a base salary of $1.5 million, a signing bonus of $575,000 and a per game roster bonus of $425,000. The one-year deal has a value of $2.5 million and an additional $2.5 million available through incentives. His cap hit is $2.275 million. Basically, it’s a contract for a veteran backup running back. I doubt because of his age and injury history he’ll ever receive a multiyear deal again. That’s just the nature of the league.

The Browns roster is pretty much set for training camp. Over the next month, so called experts will suggest the Browns know who their starter at QB will be. Or suggest they know who will be cut or traded. Some are already suggesting the Browns will keep four quarterbacks on the final 53. I don’t see it. The way injuries happen in the NFL, why weaken another roster position either on the final 53 or the sixteen-man practice squad. If there are four quarterbacks, then the roster spot taken will more than likely be from another offensive position group and the way the offense played last year, that’s defiantly not a good idea. Let me just note, for those who don’t remember, last year on the final roster, Andrew Berry did have four quarterbacks, Deshaun Watson Jameis Winston, Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Tyler Huntley. Berry was hoping to trade Huntley, but it didn’t happen and cut him days later.

Hopefully I’ll have something to write about the Browns over the next month. Also, look for my articles and podcasts through The Fanatical Elfz Network (http://@ElfzNetwork) and Fans First Sports Network (http://@FFSN_NFL). Stay safe and GO Browns.

With the exception of some classwork this week, the off-season programs are over. It’s time for summer break. Hopefully no Browns player will be in the news, unless there’s a signing or a trade. After this week, rookies will be sent home with a playbook and instructions on how they can be ready for training camp. The date for training camp hasn’t been announced, but I think the CBA states it’s to start 47 days prior to the team’s first game. That would put it around July 21.

All the rookies have signed except running back Quinshon Judkins. He was the first player drafted in the second round, so other second-round players are waiting. The money is slotted but there’s always language and incentives that slow things down. I’m not going to worry about it until training camp. If he’s not signed by then, it’s a problem. In other news, the Browns finally signed an offensive tackle. Jackson Barton is a six-year pro who’s played about 160 snaps in the league the vast majority at right tackle. He has played a handful of games at left tackle, so he joins Dawand Jones & Cornelius Lucas as players who have played both positions. He’s competing for the fourth tackle spot.

It seems things aren’t going well in Pittsburg and especially Cincinnati. T J Watt wants the Steelers to pay him Myles Garrett money. He’s 30 years old and is already making $20 million a year. Maybe if he lined over someone else besides the right tackle, he could get Myles Garrett money. The Steelers don’t play games with players who want a new contract, so Watt is going to have to settle. Speaking of playing games with players, Things in Cincinnati are not going well. All pro Trey Hendrickson wants a new contract, and he desires one. He and the team have started to talk, so maybe it will get done. Meanwhile the Bengals first-round draft pick Shemar Stewart bolted from camp last week. As with Judkins, the money is slotted so there has to be a problem with the guarantees and language. I’ve heard the Bengals want the option to void the contract if Stewart has any off-field problems, which he did in college. And people think the Browns are dysfunctional.

According to Over The Cap, the Browns have $18.1 million in salary cap space and that’s an up-to-date figure. If there are going to be any contract extensions, they’ll happen in July. That’s what history tells us about Browns GM Andrew Berry. The roster is pretty much set. Many Browns fans want another wide receiver added and that still might happen, but the Browns want to see what they have in Diontae Johnson and Cedric Tillman. Stability at the quarterback position would really be helpful. Because of the slow news period of the next six weeks, I might not be doing a blog every week, but if anything happens, I’ll keep writing. You can also follow me at Fans First Sports Network (http://@FFSN_NFL) and The Fanatical Elfz Network (http://@ElfzNetwork) with my articles and my podcast. Stay safe and Go Browns.

Browns great Nick Chubb signed a free agent contract with the Houston Texans yesterday and thus ends the Nick Chubb era in Cleveland. It was inevitable he was gone after the drafting of Quinshon Judkins in the second round of the recent draft. If the Browns had drafted their first running back in the third round, then this might not have happened. The team talked to Chubb’s agents once a week and expressed a desire to have Chubb return. But his representatives decided to wait till after the draft. Chubb embodied what a Browns player was all about, a quiet workhorse. You can be sad he’s not a Brown but not signing him was a smart business move. Nick Chubb is no longer the back he was prior to the injury. Watching 2024 games, he relied on being a power back. The vision was there, but not the burst or the shiftiness. While he would occasionally have a five-to-ten-yard run, most of his carries would result in a loss or a one two-yard gain. He’s not the same running back and I doubt he’ll return to the franchise back he used to be.

Many Browns fans will make a big deal out of the contract he signed. The reported contact is what the agent wants you know. I’ll wait till Over The Cap has the true numbers, but I willing to bet his salary for 2025 is the veteran minimum of $1,170,000. I had heard if he signed with the Browns; it would have been a one-year deal with reachable incentives and future team options. This was his choice. What if he was signed by the Browns and he couldn’t beat out Dylan Sampson and Jerome Ford? Then the Browns would have to cut him. There are people still mad at Bill Belichick for cutting Bernie Kosar. I’m still mad at Art Modell for letting Jim Brown retire. The NFL is a business, and this was a business decision by Nick Chubb. Could the rookie running backs have benefitted from Chubb being on the team? Sure, but it also could’ve been a hindrance. They won’t have to constantly field Nick Chubb questions all through training camp.

Judkins can be the starting running back for the Browns and based what I saw of his play in college, both at Mississippi and Ohio State, he’ll be very good. Remember he scored three touchdowns in the National Championship game. Cleveland is returning to the wide zone offense that running backs thrive in and the team has improved the offensive line. Many fans are clamoring for Shedeur Sanders to start. The best way for a rookie quarterback to excel is a strong running attack, a veteran tight end and a veteran wide receiver.

A majority of fans will blame GM Andrew Berry, but that’s the job description of an NFL GM. Don’t take the credit when it’s due and listen to the blame from disgruntled fans. I’ve already seen the ridiculous logic on social media. This team needs young legs to carry the new rushing attack. Judkins and Sampson are those guys. As I’ve said, this maybe the most productive draft class Andrew Berry has ever drafted. I’ll miss seeing Nick Chubb in a Browns uniform, but his career in Cleveland essentially ended game two of the 2024 season. I wish him the best of luck, and I hope he can stay healthy. Stay safe and Go Browns.

As phase two of voluntary OTA’s restart today, there’s been some Browns news. By that I mean real news.

Salary Cap. As I’ve been saying, the Browns had about $8.9 million added to their cap because of the post June 1st cuts to Dalvin Tomlinson and Juan Thornhill. According to Over The Cap, the team now stands at $18.2 million under the cap. They could still create room by restructuring Denzel Ward and/or Ethan Pocic, but that probably won’t happen until July. Defensive end Ogbo Okoronkwo is still a candidate to be traded of released. DL Alex Wright is in the last year of his rookie contract at $3.4 million, so a decision must be made on him. And Greg Newsome and Martin Emerson are both in the last year of their contracts. No word on Nick Chubb. He either will sign with the Browns and accept being RB3 or wait until an injury to a running back in training camp, whether it be with the Browns or another team. The market for veteran running backs is way down this year. Finally, an extension for TE David Njoku is expected this summer.

Joel Bitonio. It was refreshing to hear a veteran Browns player expressing optimism for the plan on offense. He has faith the team will play the best quarterback in 2025 and not focus on developing young talent. He likes the new offensive line coach Mike Bloomgren and hinted the offense will be similar to the 2020 offense. If you recall that year head coach Kevin Stefanski let the offense loose, mainly because the Al Wood’s defense couldn’t hold a lead no matter how big. QB Baker Mayfield threw for four touchdowns in a half twice, the first half of the Titan’s game and the second half of the second Bengals game. That year Mayfield threw for 3563 yards, 28 touchdowns, eight interceptions and a 95.9 QBR. I’m all for the 2020 offense.

Pro Football Focus. They rated all 32 NFL rosters, and the Browns came in last. I’m a fan of PFF, but this is ridiculous. Their reasoning was because of the offense. Yes, we all know it was terrible in 2024, but last, really? They ignore the fact the Browns signed two offensive linemen who were high in their ratings, OT Cornelius Lucas and OL Teven Jenkins. The Browns drafted two great running backs and one hell of a tight end. Yes, the quarterback needs to be ironed out, but the odds favor the Browns finding a player who can help them win.

Myles Garrett. Shock of shocks, Garrett wasn’t at the voluntary OTA’s. He’s not a team leader. Blah, blah blah. Garrett is a team leader like Flacco is a mentor. The Browns usually have four defensive ends on their final 53-man roster. Currently there are two locks, Garrett and Isaiah McGuire. Contenders for the other two spots are Okoronkwo, Julian Okwara and Joe Tryon-Shoyinka. Tryon-Shoyinka has looked very good in OTA’s. Others include UDFA Adin Huntington, Cameron Thomas and Jim Schwartz favorite Sam Kamara. The last three are practice squad candidates but keep an eye on Huntington. Basically, the Browns need to figure out the last two spots and the best way to do that is to give the players as many snaps in OTA’s as possible. Garrett doesn’t need to be there until he’s supposed to be there. I’m not worried and either should you. He’ll be there when it matters, and all his teammates know that. Stay safe and Go Browns.

The Browns off-season program begins again today, so be prepared for video on social media. Also be prepared for the continued argument on who’s having a better camp, Dillion Gabriel or Shedeur Sanders. I think I’ll start an argument on who’s better, Joe Flacco or Kenny Pickett to see if anyone notices. To me, I really don’t care which one does better, just find a quarterback who can win games and get the Browns to the playoffs. In 2023, the Browns won because they had four quarterbacks who could play in Kevin Stefanski’s offense. In 2024 they had zero quarterbacks who could play in any system. The team scrapped their entire offense for one signal caller thinking he could revive his franchise QB career. It didn’t work. It failed miserably. I understand why they did it. The last game Deshaun Watson played in 2023 was one hell of a game. The Browns trailed most of the game by at least fourteen points on the road against the Ravens. In the second half the team went on three long scoring drives including the game winning field goal with no time left on the clock. Hell, they even missed an extra point, which usually is a kiss of death for the Browns and still won the game.

Like I said, I understand the change in offense. Did I agree with it? I was more wait and see. By the time 2024 was over, I no longer wanted to look. Now the team enters 2025 with a true quarterback competition. In Flacco, the team knows what it has, a veteran who can work in Stefanski’s offense. The question is was 2023 a fluke? The ball bounced the Browns way that year. From opponents missing game winning field goals to back-to-back pass interference calls in the end-zone leading to a fourth & goal game winning rushing touchdown. 2023 was magical, but it ended with a thud in the playoffs. The Browns traded for Kenny Pickett, so they see something there. He used his senior season at Pittsburg to parlay that into a first round pick by the Steelers. He was 15-10 as a starter in an offense that was almost nonexistent. Before Pickett the offense was whatever Big Ben dreamed up. In college Pickett ran basically the same offense as the Browns will run in 2025. Again, I’m in wait and see mode.

If the Browns can find their future quarterback between Gabriel or Sanders that would be the perfect situation. A few things to remember, in all the off-season programs, the pace will be quicker. The team is trying to get in as many reps prior to the summer months to get both rookies used to the speed of the NFL. Who takes the first snaps, or which two quarterbacks are working in tandem doesn’t matter. It’s all about getting in as many snaps in as possible. Second, I know a lot of fans are already planning trading Pickett to the Saints for a certain wide receiver. I’ve been told the Saints aren’t interested. Besides, the Browns want to wait and see what they have in Pickett. Finally, no one knows who the starting QB will be game one. It’s way too early for that speculation. All I know is, the Browns will keep three quarterbacks on their final 53-man roster and none of the four they have in camp right now will make it to the practice squad. This year’s training camp is going to be a true competition. Stay safe and Go Browns.
