The Cleveland Browns are casting a wide net in their search for a veteran quarterback, reportedly expressing interest in former first-round pick Carson Wentz. This comes amid speculation surrounding other quarterback options like Russell Wilson and Kirk Cousins. Wentz, who has not served as a starting QB since 2022, has had a tumultuous career, having been a backup for notable players like Matthew Stafford and Patrick Mahomes.

A return to Cleveland would be poetic since the team once traded the rights to draft him back in 2016. However, experts suggest that acquiring Wentz will not drastically alter the Browns' trajectory and they may still pursue younger options, leveraging their second overall pick in the upcoming draft.
