Browns Predicted to Go Through Another Quarterback Shakeup

The Cleveland Browns have found it nearly impossible to find a long-term franchise quarterback in recent years. Currently, they have four on the roster and are unsure whether or not any of them are the guy past the 2026 season.

Deshaun Watson is the current starter, with Shedeur Sanders as his primary backup. Behind those two options, the Browns have Dillon Gabriel and Taylen Green on the roster.

Entering the 2026 season, no one knew what to expect from Watson. He had recovered fully from his Achilles injuries, but his track record in Cleveland wasn't good. That being said, he has played well so far this season.

In eight games played, he has completed 65.5 percent of his passes for 1,806 yards, seven touchdowns, and three interceptions, while also running for 217 yards and a score. Sanders has played in three games, starting last week, and has completed 22 of his 34 attempts for 299 yards, two touchdowns, and no picks.

With all of that being said, a new prediction would see the Browns go through yet another quarterback shakeup following the 2026 campaign.

Cleveland Browns Predicted to Make Another Quarterback Change

Bleacher Report has released a new NFL mock draft following the trade deadline. They are predicting Cleveland to select a new franchise quarterback in the first round.

At pick No. 16 overall, they have the Browns selecting Oregon standout quarterback Dante Moore.

"Moore is a natural passer with good accuracy and ball placement to operate at a high level from inside the pocket. He is not afraid of big moments and plays with poise. He's a smooth operator in how he plays with his eyes, feet and mechanics all aligned," they wrote.

"Overall, Moore is an efficient quarterback with smooth mechanics, who could step in and start as a rookie for an NFL franchise."

Moore has played in four college seasons, his freshman year with UCLA and the last three at Oregon. Unfortunately, his 2026 season came to a premature end due a concussion. Overall, he has completed 66.4 percent of his passes for 6,150 yards, 50 touchdowns, and 19 interceptions.

No one knows what to expect from Moore at the NFL level. He could become a star down the road or he could be a bust, but the same could be said for any young signal caller.

Whether or not the Browns will target a new quarterback in the offseason remains a question mark. Should they choose to do so, Moore could be a serious option.
