When it comes to the quarterback position, the Cleveland Browns have made some interesting decisions this year. The team is currently holding a four-way QB battle between Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders.

Joe Flacco signed a one-year deal to return to Cleveland during free agency. Flacco, who led the Browns to the postseason in 2023, is the early candidate to start Week 1. Because of his veteran status, he is also the only quarterback that will not be valuable to others in a trade.

The Cleveland Browns return to action tonight with their first preseason game of the 2025 campaign, taking on the Carolina Panthers. All eyes will be on rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who will get the start for the Browns and could see significant playing time.

As a rookie fifth-round selection, quarterback Shedeur Sanders is fighting an uphill battle as he faces off against Dillon Gabriel, Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett to be the Cleveland Browns' Week 1 starter.

Based on his Instagram post this morning, Sanders made it clear that he believes he can pull it off, sharing an artsy photo of himself leading the offense at training camp, but more blatantly, using 50 Cent's track "If I Can't" to accompany it.
