One potential answer to the Cleveland Browns’ excellent quarterback situation would be to exchange a reliable draft pick for an established NFL starter.
Behind starter Deshaun Watson and backup Jameis Winston at quarterback in Cleveland, Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Tyler Huntley are contenders. ESPN’s Daniel Oyefusi has asserted that the player who finishes as the fourth guy on the depth chart could be used as a trade asset.On Sunday, August 25, Oyefusi said, “Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Tyler Huntley both made final strong cases to be the Browns’ No. 3 quarterback.” “As long as every passer is worthy, general manager Andrew Berry stated he would rather have three on the 53-man roster, and Cleveland has that option. Before the cut-down deadline, any quarterback who does not qualify as the third option could be a trade prospect.
For the second straight summer, Thompson-Robinson—a 2023 fifth-round draft selection by the Browns—has emerged as a standout prospect in the preseason. In the second half of Cleveland’s final preseason game on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, Huntley, a former Pro Bowler who started nine games and participated in twenty for the Baltimore Ravens over the previous four seasons, amassed three touchdown passes.For the second straight summer, Thompson-Robinson—a 2023 fifth-round draft selection by the Browns—has emerged as a standout prospect in the preseason.
