Browns Eye Veteran QB Move Amidst Quarterback Shakeup
The Cleveland Browns continue to make headlines with their quarterback decisions, and it seems they aren't done yet. After making a surprising move to acquire Kenny Pickett from the Philadelphia Eagles, reports suggest the Browns are still in the market for a veteran quarterback. The search for a reliable and experienced signal-caller appears to be ongoing, despite Pickett's addition to the roster.
According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, Pickett is being brought in to "compete," but he is not necessarily the long-term solution. The Browns are reportedly still on the lookout for a veteran who can serve as a "bridge" quarterback, likely until a rookie or younger player is fully developed and ready to take over the reins.

One name that has surfaced as a potential target is Carson Wentz. Wentz, who has had an up-and-down career, would be a cost-effective option, which is critical for a team still managing the financial burden of Deshaun Watson’s massive five-year, $230 million fully guaranteed contract. Wentz's ability to step in as a capable veteran presence makes him an intriguing possibility for Cleveland.
Additionally, The Athletic’s Zac Jackson recently suggested on 92.3 The Fan that Kirk Cousins could be the Browns' primary target. The Atlanta Falcons currently owe Cousins a $10 million roster bonus by March 16, and there’s speculation that they may choose to release him instead of keeping him in a backup role. Given Cousins’ history with Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski—dating back to their time together in Minnesota—the potential fit makes sense. If Cousins becomes available, Cleveland is expected to aggressively pursue him.
General Manager Andrew Berry is clearly making calculated moves to stabilize the quarterback position after a turbulent 2024 season. With a 3-14 record last year and uncertainty surrounding the position, securing an experienced leader under center is a priority. Whether it’s Wentz, Cousins, or another veteran, the Browns are signaling that they aren’t finished reshaping their quarterback room. The next few days will be crucial in determining Cleveland’s direction, and fans should brace for more potential shakeups at the position.
Stay tuned as the Browns’ quarterback saga continues to unfold.
