There are plenty of quarterback competitions around the NFL, and the Cleveland Browns' battle between Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson is one of the more interesting.

While Watson opened as the favorite, OTAs and minicamp brought Sanders back into the competition, and now the decision might not be made for quite some time.

But, even once the QB1 battle is resolved, the Browns' QB problem won't be over. As ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi highlighted, the Browns will still have a big problem to resolve with their QB depth chart.

Browns' depth chart will still be a problem after QB1 is named

"Even after a decision on QB1 is made, the Browns will have to determine how to move forward with a crowded four-man quarterback room," Oyefusi writes.

The Browns have four quarterbacks on the depth chart right now. Aside from Sanders and Watson, who are competing for the QB1 job, the Browns have Dillon Gabriel and Taylen Green on their depth chart.

Gabriel is their 2025 third-round pick, who started a game for the Browns last season, and didn't overly impress. He's firmly third behind Watson and Sanders right now.

Green, meanwhile, is a developmental rookie quarterback whom the Browns just drafted. He's not going to be an active NFL player in his rookie year, as he has a lot of work to do to become an NFL-caliber quarterback.

So, with these four quarterbacks on the roster, and the Browns not likely to carry four quarterbacks during the upcoming season, it will be interesting to see who the odd man out is.

Green is a high-upside rookie, and it's hard to imagine the Browns will cut ties with him or risk him being scooped up by another franchise after just spending a draft pick on him.

Gabriel, meanwhile, is a QB on a rookie deal who should have trade value. The same goes for Sanders, though if he wins the QB1 job, he wouldn't be at risk of leaving Cleveland. Trading Watson is likely out of the question due to his massive contract.

It will be very interesting to see how this quarterback room shapes out. The QB1 competition is fascinating, but so too will be the depth chart in Cleveland.
