Not only was Cleveland's call on Gabriel a comment on Sanders, it was also indicative of how the Browns feel about Deshaun Watson. Watson still has two years remaining on his $230 million contract and continues to rehabilitate a twice-torn Achilles tendon, which could sideline him for part, or all, of the 2025 campaign.

The Browns added two more quarterbacks by drafting Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, making for a crowded race for the starting job.
