Citing a team source, Houshmandzadeh said the four-man Browns competition at quarterback is down to two players. Cleveland drafted Sanders and former Oregon star Dillon Gabriel in April, and added Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett.

Entering the 2025 NFL season, the Cleveland Browns are going through a major quarterback competition. While there are four players competing for playing time, Shedeur Sanders has become the talk of the team. While he may not begin the season as the starting quarterback for the Browns, many believe that he will end it in that role.
