Figuring out who the starting quarterback will be from the equally poor choices of Deshaun Watson or Shedeur Sanders... He and Shedeur Sanders will compete for the starting job under new coach Todd Monken... In exchange for a $230 million guaranteed contract, the Browns have gotten 19 games, and nine wins out of Watson. He's back for the final year of his deal after missing 10 games in 2024 and all of 2025 due to a twice-torn Achilles.

Watson faces QB competition with Sanders; injury history and poor production raise concerns.

Watson is competing with Shedeur Sanders for the Browns starting quarterback job under new coach Todd Monken, who is in no hurry to decide. Watson is back for the final year of his $230 million guaranteed contract after missing 10 games in 2024 and all of 2025 due to a twice-torn Achilles; he has produced only 19 games and nine wins in exchange for that contract.
