The Cleveland Browns have expanded their already crowded quarterback room.
In the sixth round, just a year after drafting Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders while awaiting Deshaun Watson’s health, they selected Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green.
The Browns’ quarterback room was so crowded last year that Week 1 starter Joe Flacco was traded during the season. Of course, the Browns did that so they could get a look at their young talent, but they also had Kenny Pickett last offseason, who was traded.

Last year, the Browns drafted Gabriel out of Oregon in the third round and Sanders took an unprecedented free fall. However, they also ended up beating Sanders in the fifth round.
Gabriel got the nod after Flacco was traded, but after suffering a concussion, Sanders replaced him and remained in his position after earning his first NFL start.
Cleveland’s quarterback play was poor all season no matter who took the snaps, ranking 31st in completion percentage (57.89%) and passing yards per game (165.1). So maybe the Browns want to find a diamond in the rough.

Meanwhile, Watson’s $230 million contract will ultimately expire after this season. The Browns, who have openly admitted their regret over the monster trade and deal, restructured his contract last month for the third time in about a year.
Sanders appears to be the favorite to start Week 1, but he didn’t exactly take the job, so there’s certainly an open competition, which is apparently even more open now.
In four seasons as a starter at both Boise State and Arkansas, Green completed 60.1% of his passes for 9,662 yards, 59 touchdowns and 35 interceptions. He led the SEC with 13.7 yards per completion last season and led the Mountain West in that same category (14.5) in 2023.
