A CLEVELAND Browns quarterback has been predicted to be part of a stunning trade exit amid Shedeur Sanders’ roster cut speculation.
The Browns have a logjam at the quarterback position and will need to make a release or possibly a trade decision during the summer.

The rookies are part of a quarterback room that also features veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett.
It’s expected that one of the quarterbacks will be released or shipped away, and a football media personality thinks that one of the first-year players is a fit for a specific team.
Former NFL quarterback-turned football analyst Kurt Benkert shared that the Miami Dolphins were interested in drafting Gabriel and wanted to select him before he landed in Cleveland.
But with Gabriel reportedly struggling in workouts with the Browns, Benkert believes the Oregon Ducks product is a clear fit for the Dolphins.
“I wouldn’t be shocked to see the #Dolphins trade for #Browns QB Dillon Gabriel at the end of the preseason,” Benkert wrote on X.
“They liked him a ton and saw him as an incredible scheme fit with athletic upside and were going to take him a few picks later, but then the Browns drafted him (per source).”
The Dolphins ended up trading their No. 98 pick away after Gabriel wasn’t available.
Miami eventually drafted a quarterback when they selected Quinn Ewers in the seventh round.
Benkert then wrote about the Ewers’ pick.
“Nothing against Ewers, they took him at a spot they liked – but it’s believed the preference was Gabriel earlier in the draft.”
The Dolphins do have a starting quarterback in 2023 Pro Bowler Tua Tagovailoa, but his health is a concern after he suffered another concussion last season.
It’s more likely, however, that the Browns will part with either Flacco or Pickett instead of either Gabriel or Sanders, who has had cut fears surrounding him.
Cleveland would be wise to keep and develop the two rookies, as the franchise doesn’t have Super Bowl or even playoff expectations.
The franchise is coming off a disappointing 3-14 season in 2024.
