""We're going to do our work on the quarterback market," Berry said. "It's too important of a position, and it's something that has to be solidified. I can't sit here and tell you today whether the starter in 2026 is internal or external, but it's something that we're going to work through over the next several weeks, and quite honestly, the new head coach will also have a lot of input into that as well.""
"Cleveland on Monday morning announced it had fired Kevin Stefanski after six seasons as head coach. Owner Jimmy Haslam said that Berry, who arrived in Cleveland alongside Stefanski in 2020, would not only be retained as GM but also lead the search for the franchise's 11th full-time head coach since returning to the NFL in 1999. Berry said he also anticipates quarterback Deshaun Watson, who did not play in the 2025 season as he rehabbed an Achilles tear"
"The Browns started 13 different quarterbacks under Stefanski, including seven in the last two seasons. Shedeur Sanders, the 144th overall pick in the 2025 draft, started the final seven games of the season and went 3-4 as a starter, including victories in the final two games of the season. In eight games (Sanders made his debut in the second half of the Browns' Week 11 loss to the Baltimore Ravens), Sanders completed 56.6% of his passes (120-of-212) for 1,400 yards with seven touchdowns"
Cleveland's front office will evaluate quarterback options this offseason with GM Andrew Berry noncommittal about the 2026 starter and saying the new head coach will have significant input. The team fired Kevin Stefanski after six seasons and retained Berry to lead the search for a new head coach. Berry expects Deshaun Watson, who missed 2025 while rehabbing a 2024 Achilles tear, to be on the 2026 roster. The Browns used 13 quarterbacks under Stefanski, seven in the last two seasons. Shedeur Sanders started the final seven games, going 3-4 and compiling 1,400 passing yards, seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
