It's no secret that the Cleveland Browns are heading toward training camp with an awkwardly uncertain QB room, but what do the contracts say about where things could be headed?

Deshaun Watson
The 29-year-old is expected to be placed on the Reserve/PUP list this summer, taking him out of play for the first four games of the season. Cleveland won't need to activate him unless needed, and it's largely expected that he won't suit up for the Browns in 2025. Contractually, the 2 years, $92M remaining is (of course) fully guaranteed, with $167M+ of dead cap attached to the deal in 2025. That number drops to $131.1M next offseason. Will Cleveland take the hit and move on?

Kenny Pickett
The 27-year-old is entering the final year of his rookie contract, set to earn a fully guaranteed $2,623,350 in 2025. That's the cost to keep or cut the former #20 overall pick this summer. Pickett is largely expected to factor into the QB1 conversation through camp.

Joe Flacco
Flacco signed a 1 year, $4.25M contract this offseason that included $3M guaranteed (a $1.745M signing bonus, and his $1.255M salary). The deal can max out at $13M based on incentives. On the contrary, Flacco must be active weekly to pick up a $58,823 bonus ($1M for all 17 weeks), and he must still be on the roster for the last game of the season in order to vest a $250,000 roster bonus. In other words, the Browns can cut their losses mid-season if they so choose.

Dillon Gabriel
The 3rd-rounder signed a 4 year $6.2M contract this Spring that included a $1.16M signing bonus, his only guarantee. It stands to reason that he will be competing with Shedeur Sanders for the final QB spot.

Shedeur Sanders
The 5th-rounder signed a 4 year, $4.6M contract that included a $447,380 signing bonus, his only guarantee. He'll need a big camp to secure a roster slot, or risk being sent to waivers as a practice squad pickup.
