Browns HC Todd Monken Speaks Out About Naming Starting QB Before Training Camp Amid Deshaun Watson Buzz
Todd Monken said he wants a starter before training camp but is not ready after three days of on-field work.
- On Friday, Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken told 92.3 The Fan he is not ready to name a starting quarterback, leaving the competition between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders open.
- Watson and Sanders are currently battling for the role, with reports indicating the veteran Watson holds a slight edge due to experience following minicamp, while Sanders represents potential but remains unproven.
- Evaluating players during three practices this spring, Monken said, "I'm not there yet, so I can't say that," emphasizing he needs more on-field observation before deciding.
- Competition for the job remains fluid; Monken stated that rep distribution—even if one player receives two-thirds—will not dictate the final decision until preseason games provide more data.
- The Browns also have quarterbacks Taylen Green and Dillon Gabriel on the roster, with staff planning to utilize upcoming spring sessions and training camp to determine the Week 1 starter.
