Ultimate 216 Show: Todd Monken Turns Up Heat on Cleveland Browns QB Competition as Offseason Plan Emerges Feb 27, 2026

Show notes

The Cleveland Browns offseason is heating up after a revealing NFL Combine, where new head coach Todd Monken made one thing crystal clear: the quarterback competition is wide open. Whether it’s Shedeur Sanders, Deshaun Watson, Dillon Gabriel, or another addition to the room, Monken emphasized performance over politics. GM Andrew Berry backed that approach, reinforcing that no job is being handed out — it will be earned. As offseason workouts approach, all eyes are on how this QB battle begins to take shape. Beyond the quarterback conversation, the Browns are entering a pivotal stretch in roster construction. With two first-round picks at No. 6 and No. 24 overall, Cleveland has flexibility to address key needs along the offensive line, at wide receiver, and potentially add defensive depth. Trade-down scenarios, mid-round maneuvering, and cap management will all factor into how aggressive this front office decides to be. The offseason plan isn’t just about talent — it’s about identity. There’s also a bigger picture developing in Berea. Culture, accountability, and long-term vision have become central themes under Monken’s leadership. Veteran contracts, draft capital, and locker room tone all point toward an organization trying to reset expectations and compete in a loaded AFC. The Browns aren’t just tweaking the roster — they’re trying to redefine who they are heading into 2026.
