Browns HC Todd Monken reveals stance on QB battle this offseason

After an exciting offseason that saw many new names join the organization, the Cleveland Browns and general manager Andrew Berry are slowly beginning to prepare for the 2026 NFL season. Berry made it clear in both free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft that his primary goal was to revamp the offense. Thanks to the front office's efforts in free agency to address the offensive line, the Browns were able to walk away with three key playmakers in the most recent draft, including Utah offensive tackle Spencer Fano, along with a pair of wide receivers in Texas A&M's KC Concepcion and Washington's Denzel Boston.

Now, with a completely new offense heading into this season, the main question surrounding the struggling franchise is the quarterback position. However, while there has been speculation as to who the frontrunner could be for the starting position throughout this offseason, head coach Todd Monken offered clarity on Friday morning during his appearance on 92. 3 The Fan.

"I would love to have [the answer to the starting quarterback position], I'm not there yet," Monken claimed. "We've been on the field 3 practices... There's only so many reps you get; you start to target who is gonna start opening day.

That can change even if someone is gonna get two-thirds of reps or one-third of reps because you're still gonna play preseason games. " Who will be the Browns' starting quarterback in 2026? While Monken may not have the answer to the quarterback position, Browns' insider Mary Kay Cabot recently reported on Wednesday afternoon that veteran Deshaun Watson had the edge over 2025 fifth-round pick Shedeur Sanders after voluntary workouts in April.
