(Photo by Nick Cammett/Getty Images) | Getty Images The start of the Cleveland Browns 2026 quarterback competition has looked a lot like the 2025 QB competition. With no real certainty, no certainty of a quality starter, and a number of players competing for the starting job, HC Todd Monken has started things out very similarly to former HC Kevin Stefanski. There are a couple of differences, besides the coaches and the seemingly upgraded offense this year. Monken’s version has helmet cams and a big, athletic quarterback, **Taylen Green**. The Browns current QB depth chart does include three from last year’s roster: **Shedeur Sanders, Deshaun Watson** (on injured reserve all season last year), and **Dillon Gabriel.** While many expect Gabriel to be the odd man out, Adam Schefter quickly reported that Cleveland is not planning to trade him: Shortly after drafting Green, GM Andrew Berry told the media that the plan was to head into the spring and training camp with those four quarterbacks on the roster: Green and Gabriel are completely different when it comes to measurables: The wording of Schefter’s report leaves room for a trade to still happen, as “they have no plans to trade” last year’s third-round pick. Plans can change. Given the uncertainty, including the new offensive system, any outcome in the quarterback room would make sense. Green, as Monken was a part of drafting him, may have the best odds to stick on the roster in 2026. ***What do you think of Schefter’s report/rumor?***
