The Cleveland Browns have too many quarterbacks. If you include Deshaun Watson in the current group, there are five signal-callers on the Browns' roster. 

Kenny Pickett has been getting consistent first-team reps through OTAs, which leads many to believe his spot is safe. However, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk sees the Browns trading Pickett after just acquiring him in March.

 

“I don’t think they’re taking those four to camp," Florio said. I think one of those guys will be gone, traded or cut, and replaced with a true camp arm who’s there to help get through the individual drills... Put me down for they are going to trade Kenny Pickett before camp. They have been trying to boost Kenny Pickett. There have been some reports about he’s looked so good in the offseason program and I think they want somebody to call about Kenny Pickett.”

Should Pickett be dealt, that would almost certainly push Joe Flacco into the starting role while Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel battle for the backup job.
