Joe Flacco vs Shedeur Sanders vs Kenny Pickett vs Dillon Gabriel will be the big Browns story
Long ago, in NFL offseason terms, the Cleveland Browns were put on the spot when DE Myles Garrett demanded a trade. We were steadfast in our information that Garrett would not be traded (although the end result was an extension and not the totally new contract we had stated here on DBN).
During the short time when Garrett could have been on the trade market, it became clear that the former Defensive Player of the Year was not just frustrated about the quarterback position, but that it mattered a lot. Garrett noted the team needed a quarterback they could rely on.
While ESPN’s Adam Schefter believes that one of Cleveland’s veterans (Joe Flacco or Kenny Pickett) could be traded, broadcaster Solomon Wilcots believes the Browns owe it to Garrett not to start either of the rookies (Dillon Gabriel or Shedeur Sanders):
With Garrett locked up to a huge extension, Cleveland’s brass doesn’t need to placate him, but making sure he stays engaged and bought in could be important for the mindset of the team.
In the end, HC Kevin Stefanski and GM Andrew Berry have to make the decision they think is best for the Browns, in the short or long term, depending on what they value.
Do you think Myles Garrett should play a role or be a part of the starting QB decision this year?
