The Cleveland Browns just threw a curveball that’s got the NFL world buzzing. Instead of making a tough call on who would snag that elusive No. 3 quarterback spot, the Browns decided to keep all four of their quarterbacks on the initial 53-man roster. Yep, you read that right-four QBs are hanging around in Cleveland’s camp, making this one of the most stacked QB rooms in the league.
But hold up-don’t get too comfy with this situation just yet. According to ESPN, the Browns have been shopping around their backups, meaning the QB carousel could still be spinning. The trade talks are real, and nothing is set in stone, so buckle up for what could be a wild ride in the coming days.
In the mix for that backup gig behind Deshaun Watson were Tyler Huntley, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, and Jameis Winston. All three were gunning for the job, but the Browns played it safe-or chaotic, depending on how you see it-by keeping the trio on board, at least for now.
When grilled about why the Browns are rolling with four quarterbacks, head coach Kevin Stefanski played it cool. “We have four good quarterbacks,” he said, dodging any commitment about how long all four will stick around. With the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys looming, Stefanski left everyone guessing with a cryptic “We’ll see.”

And if you thought Winston’s spot as the No. 2 guy behind Watson was secure, think again. Stefanski didn’t confirm anything, leaving the depth chart as murky as ever. “We’re not setting the depth chart with any position,” he added, keeping the drama alive.

Let’s not forget about Huntley, the former Ravens backup, who signed a one-year deal in the offseason and threw three touchdown passes in the preseason finale. Thompson-Robinson, a fifth-round pick who saw his rookie season cut short by a hip injury, also made his mark by tossing a TD in the final preseason game.
Meanwhile, the Browns made another surprising move by cutting running back D’Onta Foreman, opting to keep just two RBs on the roster. But don’t write Foreman off just yet-he’s expected to return after some expected roster shuffling.
“It’s the first 53. It’s not the final 53,” Stefanski teased, hinting at more moves to come. So, while the Browns are stocked up at quarterback, this story is far from over. Stay tuned-Cleveland’s QB drama is just getting started.
