Ultimately, having four or even five quarterbacks is just too much to carry on a roster where teams routinely only carry two or three at a maximum. While the practice squad presents another opportunity to land on a roster, the Browns will likely need to trim at least one QB from their organizational depth chart. <\/p>\n
Recently, The Athletic\u2019s Browns insider Zac Jackson<\/a> revealed that the two rookies could be competing for one roster spot in Cleveland. That means, if either one shows enough on film during preseason games and\/or scrimmages against other teams, another franchise could snatch Gabriel or Sanders away from the Browns.<\/p>\n \u201cI view it as Joe Flacco versus Kenny Pickett for the starting job in September. Then it\u2019s Dillon Gabriel versus Shedeur Sanders potentially for a roster spot and place on the depth chart, but also Gabriel and Sanders versus just being a rookie quarterback and trying to learn while maximizing reps. Gabriel got some starter snaps during the spring, but I\u2019d be stunned if either rookie can actually win the job in camp.\u201d<\/p>\n The Athletic on Cleveland Browns QB room<\/p>\n While the two rookies may not be in line to compete for the starting job right away, they could be just one snap away from taking the field at any point this season. Perhaps it\u2019s Gabriel and Sanders who make a strong impression on the coaching staff, leading to one of Flacco or Pickett getting their walking papers instead. <\/p>\n Related:\u00a02025 NFL QB Rankings 1-32: Who\u2019s on top?<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t<\/p>\n
