The Browns have officially wrapped up their offseason program with the conclusion of mandatory minicamp. After seeing all four quarterbacks participate in drills, we're nowhere closer to knowing who the starting quarterback in Week 1 of the 2025 regular season will be.
And that's exactly how it should be.
Yes, we tracked reps in the three days of mandatory minicamp, seeing which quarterback took reps in which team period and the order in which they took those reps. We tracked how many reps they each took and even who didn't take reps in certain drills. But for any proclamation about a starting quarterback to come in June – before training camp has taken place – is an unfair assessment of the competition.
While the Browns' quarterback competition has a rare twist – one that features four quarterbacks in Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders – quarterback competitions are a common aspect of the offseason. Take this offseason, as the Saints are also in the midst of a quarterback competition following Derek Carr's retirement. Go back to 2019 with the now-Commanders and their three-quarterback competition. Those competitions began in the offseason program, extended and actively are extending through training camp and the preseason.
This competition for the Browns will do the same.

The Oklahoma City Thunder moved within one win of the franchise’s first NBA championship in 46 years on Monday night, beating the Indiana Pacers 120–109 in Game 5 of the NBA finals to take a 3-2 series lead.
Jalen Williams erupted for a career playoff-high 40 points, MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander added 31 points and 10 assists, and the Thunder held off a furious Indiana rally to secure a chance at clinching their first title since 1979 in Game 6 on Thursday in Indianapolis.
It was the 10th time this postseason that Gilgeous-Alexander and Williams combined for more than 70 points in a game. Williams was 14-of-25 from the field and added six rebounds and four assists, including several key buckets late in the fourth as the Thunder weathered a Pacers push.
