New Browns 2027 NFL mock draft: Which QB did CLE go big for?

The NFL regular season is a few weeks away, and the Cleveland Browns still have one more meaningless preseason game to get out of the way before the initial 53-man roster decisions and Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Given how HC Todd Monken handled the quarterback competition and the performances of the quarterbacks themselves, […]

Browns QB room: The next big decision

Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken announced his starting quarterback. Many fans and media outlets point to Deshaun Watson’s salary as the reason he got the job. The competition was primarily between Watson and last year’s fifth-round draft choice Shedeur Sanders. By naming Watson the starter, this pretty much relegates Sanders to the backup role. […]

Browns 53-man roster projection: The tough calls, weak positions, deep spots

For at least three to four weeks, the Cleveland Browns have made a decision about the quarterback competition.

How would you have handled the Browns starting QB decision?

Head Coach Todd Monken announced that Deshaun Watson will start at quarterback in Week 1. It’s a controversial decision, especially after his poor performance in the second half of the preseason game against the Buffalo Bills and his comments during the postgame press conference. His criticism of the fans for booing is likely to make for […]

Browns: Deshaun Watson as QB1. How did we get here?

The Cleveland Browns entered the 2021 season full of hope after a playoff run the prior year that included a Wild Card beatdown of the Pittsburgh Steelers and a close loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional Round. But the promise of another playoff run quickly evaporated when quarterback Baker Mayfield suffered a […]

Searching for reasons the Browns chose Deshaun Watson over Shedeur Sanders

Monken will get up in front of […]

Browns QB competition decision between Deshaun Watson, Sheduer Sanders

Browns fans not surprised by Saturday’s Bills game, have limited hope

When will Cleveland Browns fans get to accurately expect their team to be good at all times?

Browns HC still not ready to name a starting QB

Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken is facing his first major decision as an NFL head coach, and it is one that only has a wrong answer.

3 things we learned from the Browns-Bills preseason game

The Cleveland Browns took on the Buffalo Bills in the second preseason game of this 2026 season. Few starters entered the game, which here at DBN, we have no issue with.

Deshaun Watson’s postgame press conference: Should it impact Browns QB decision?

The quarterback competition between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders was already an interesting one going into the preseason matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
