The Cleveland Browns continue to struggle with their quarterback situation following a disappointing 3-14 season. The team has cycled through 40 quarterbacks since its return to the NFL in 1999, with Bailey Zappe being the latest starter. With the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Browns are contemplating their next move. Deshaun Watson, the centerpiece of a significant trade in 2022, has not lived up to expectations, particularly due to injuries that limited his appearances. After suffering a torn Achilles this season and then re-injuring it, Watson is likely facing another year on the sidelines. The Browns’ options at quarterback are limited, with Jameis Winston set to hit free agency.

As the draft approaches, the Browns might have the chance to select either Shedeur Sanders from Colorado or Cam Ward from Miami, both of whom are seen as promising prospects despite the draft class lacking elite quarterback talent. Ward stands out with impressive stats, having thrown for 39 touchdowns in 2024, making him a compelling candidate for Cleveland. The team faces a critical decision that could shape its future, given its troubled history at the quarterback position.
