The Athletic’s Zac Jackson believes “it’s hard to imagine the Browns continuing to employ [Shedeur] Sanders and Dillon Gabriel after inexplicably drafting both last April.”

“Early signs point to Sanders getting to compete for the job, [Deshaun] Watson being stuck on the roster and another quarterback addition in the middle rounds of the draft,” Jackson continues. Guess who is being left out of that quarterback room by omission? Gabriel was reportedly a Kevin Stefanski favorite in the draft process and — our speculation, not Jackson’s — might be traded to Stefanski’s new team this offseason. It’s also possible the team gives us another four-quarterback training camp show.
