# Who is the Browns starting quarterback in 2026?

There isn't a clear-cut starter — it's a full-blown QB competition. The Browns have **four** QBs battling for the job in 2026:

- **Deshaun Watson** — recovering from an Achilles tear, reportedly looking "a lot more confident" at OTAs
- **Shedeur Sanders** — a 5th-round rookie entering Year 2, showing improved command
- **Dillon Gabriel** — another young option in the mix
- **Taylen Green** — joined the competition in May

No starter has been named, and early OTA reports have been rough — Monken's offense has been throwing interceptions even in low-pressure seven-on-seven drills. This is the biggest storyline to monitor through training camp. (from the Cleveland Browns team page and Todd Monken page)
