  • The Browns have maybe the most intriguing quarterback room in the sport after trading for Kenny Pickett, bringing back Joe Flacco and using draft picks on third-rounder Dillon Gabriel and fifth-rounder Shedeur Sanders.

  • It's rare for a team to have four quarterbacks on the 53-man roster. However, Cleveland GM Andrew Berry said they are "absolutely, absolutely, absolutely" open to keeping all of them on the active roster.
