Is Anthony Richardson a lottery ticket worth investing in if you’re new Browns’ HC Todd Monken?

Could Browns explore a trade for Colts QB Anthony Richardson?
Each Tuesday, our Cleveland Browns quarterback tracker presents notes, quotes and names to track as the team goes about the 2026 offseason.

By this time next week, we’ll presumably know whether the Browns are adding another veteran quarterback to an unsettled situation that new coach Todd Monken said at the NFL Scouting Combine would likely lead to an open competition later this spring.

If the Browns sign Malik Willis, the top free-agent quarterback on the market, he will become the starter, and the rest of the offseason moves will reflect that. If the Browns add a lower-cost free agent or trade for a quarterback with minimal NFL experience, the competition will really start in April when the formal offseason program begins. Then it’ll heat up in May with the start of organized team activity practices. | https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7082273/2026/03/03/browns-anthony-richardson-colts-trade/

  1. OK, this is Zack saying if Andrew Barry is stupid enough to make this deal. This definitely would be the one to get him fired, which is all that side of the Brown’s media cares about…… unbelievably crazy

  2. Malik is impressive when he gives pressers. His thought processes on/off the field seem to be more immediate/intelligent than Shedeur. Shedeur stumbles over his words and his expressive skills come across as subpar. He holds the ball too long and runs backwards. His on field processing is too slow to have long-term sucess in the NFL. Malik is super athletic and he has a stronger arm than Shedeur.

  3. Also, Malik Willis only had one good game last year. Which he lost Sanders had one very good game last year which he lost but he had better stats than Willis had in his good game and he also won games last year with a worse team.

  4. If the Browns gives up a 5th rd pick . The Browns can use him like a Tysom Hill on 4th and 3rd plays . He can run and occasionally hit the wide open receiver . Shedeur lead the team in rushing for 3 games in a row , and it should have been 4 in a row .

  5. This guy talks like Willis is going to be great, I don’t think he would be on the bench if so, let’s just get behind Sheduer ! And stop talking about all these maybes!

  6. Y'all low down & dirty with the "he's younger" thing. Shedeur is three months older. February 02 and may 02. Y'all shameful.

  7. MW had 1 start and looked good. If he'd had 4-5 starts and looked good then Zack would have a case, but 1 Fn game. C'mon, miss me with the bullshit shenanigans my guy. Zack is on the same "Anybody but Shedeur tour" that Jay, Jason and Bull are on. FOH Zack!!

  8. We advocating pulling Shedeur on 2pt situations, 4th down situations and short distance situations. This time for another QB instead of the Wild Katt. I can’t with the Cleveland Sports Media 😂😂😂

  9. Sheuder fans are just scared of competition. Anthony Richardson is better than Dillon Gabriel. He is young as hell, cheap as hell, fast as hell, with a huge arm. Even if he is a backup, it’s still a good pickup. Use your brain, don’t listen to these sheduer fans who don’t want anyone in the room but sheduer lol.

  10. There's a difference between throwing low draft picks, reasonable trades, and small amounts of money against a wall and seeing what sticks. And simply throwing draft picks, trades, and money straight out the window.

  11. Please no, Richardson is horrible…and we'd inherit his contract…and AB will extend him and then top Watsons highest guaranteed contract 😂

  12. Why do I insist on watching these fucktards I am no longer watching this show because it is a way to get some viewers…. G BUSH!!!!!! Is the only credible source and he has the patience of a saint!!!!! Fuck these clowns
