The Cleveland Browns’ quarterback competition between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders will unfold gradually during the preseason, according to head coach Todd Monken. Rather than making an immediate decision, Monken has devised a structured approach to evaluate both players in game situations before settling on a starter.
Under the coaching staff’s plan, Watson and Sanders will each receive playing time in separate preseason contests. This strategy allows Monken to assess both quarterbacks’ performance against live competition and gather meaningful data to inform the final decision. The approach balances the need for evaluation with providing adequate opportunities for each signal-caller to demonstrate their capabilities.
The winner of the competition will be determined following the pair’s individual preseason appearances. Monken will use the third preseason game to finalize his choice for the regular season starter. The methodical process underscores the significance of the decision and the team’s commitment to selecting the quarterback best suited to lead the franchise moving forward.
