Browns GM Andrew Berry reveals how Shedeur Sanders can take QB1 job as Deshaun Watson plans return
- On February 24, 2026, Browns general manager Andrew Berry said the team will not name a starter 'anytime soon' at the NFL Scouting Combine, expecting Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson to compete for the 2026 role.
- Given Watson's return from a 27-game absence, Sanders' rookie struggles with 10 interceptions and 52.4% pressure rate highlight the competition for QB1, according to Berry.
- Berry said `I think the biggest thing that we want to see from Shedeur is just continued growth`, adding Sanders must learn the new offense, join offseason work, improve efficiency and ball security.
- Berry left open adding a veteran, saying the possibility is 'TBD', while Watson's $46 million salary and $80.7 million 2026 cap hit may lead to roster moves.
- The timeline for choosing a starter will likely extend through OTAs and camp, with the team scouting prospects like Ty Simpson and Garrett Nussmeier, and Berry said, `I think either scenario is fine.
