The Browns signed Joe Flacco in free agency, but used draft stock to acquire the team's other three signal callers. Cleveland sent a 2025 fifth-rounder to the Philadelphia Eagles alongside Dorian Thompson-Robinson in order to acquire Kenny Pickett, then used a third-round pick to select Dillon Gabriel.

In a different vein, Cleveland is not putting Sanders, whom the New York Giants passed on as their franchise QB, in the best position to succeed early in his career thanks to competition. This offseason, they’ve added three other new quarterbacks: Joe Flacco (signing), Kenny Pickett (trade) and Dillon Gabriel (draft, third round).

"Cleveland gave up a third-rounder and two fifth-rounders for Gabriel, Sanders and veteran Kenny Pickett (via trade with Philadelphia)," Fowler wrote on Wednesday. "Perhaps the Browns can get a pick back for one of them."
