It\u2019s never been a secret that the Cleveland Browns have had quite a few starting quarterbacks over the past 25 years, and they\u2019re still somehow searching for \u201cthe guy\u201d. There\u2019s some semblance of hope that Shedeur Sanders can make a huge leap in year two and that he\u2019ll be the team\u2019s savior, but that developmental jump hasn\u2019t happened often in Northeast Ohio.<\/p>\n
14 of them have been drafted by or put on a Cleveland helmet at some point in their NFL careers, and it\u2019s crazy to think about how many collegiate playmakers couldn\u2019t make it work for the Browns.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the list of Cleveland quarterbacks on the top 100 list:<\/p>\n
No.88 Bailey Zappe (2024-2026) – FA signing<\/p>\n
No.87 Shedeur Sanders (2025-present) – Drafted<\/p>\n
No.80 Brandon Weeden (2012-2013) – Drafted<\/p>\n
No.60 Kenny Pickett (2025) – Trade<\/p>\n
No.53 Brady Quinn (2007-2009) – Drafted<\/p>\n
No.43 Ken Dorsey (2006-2008) – Trade<\/p>\n
No.28 Case Keenum (2020-2021) – FA signing<\/p>\n
No.25 Dillon Gabriel (2025-present) – Drafted<\/p>\n
No.17 Jameis Winston (2024-2025) – FA signing<\/p>\n
No.13 Johnny Manziel (2014-2015) – Drafted<\/p>\n
No.12 Colt McCoy (2010-2012) – Drafted<\/p>\n
No.10 Robert Griffin III (2016-2017) – FA signing<\/p>\n
No.6 Deshaun Watson (2022-present) – Trade<\/p>\n
No.1 Baker Mayfield (2018-2021) – Drafted<\/p>\n
The fact that the Browns have had so many of these guys over the past 25 years and still couldn\u2019t make one work for more than two years is beyond frustrating. On the bright side, and something really cool is that all three of their currently rostered quarterbacks made the cut.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s to hoping that Todd Monken and Co. can turn Shedeur Sanders into something going forward, because we all know how fans feel about Deshaun Watson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s never been a secret that the Cleveland Browns have had quite a few starting quarterbacks over the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":766916,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2054],"tags":[86,85,54,60181,1864,1696,2337,7,781,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-766915","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cleveland-browns","8":"tag-browns","9":"tag-cleveland","10":"tag-cleveland-browns","11":"tag-cleveland-browns-history","12":"tag-cleveland-browns-news","13":"tag-cleveland-browns-roster","14":"tag-clevelandbrowns","15":"tag-football","16":"tag-general","17":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116108982342353822","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/766915","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=766915"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/766915\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/766916"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=766915"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=766915"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=766915"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
