ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reveals a notable update on the Cleveland Browns potential courting of the NFL's top free agent QB

Former NFL general manager Mike Tannebaum suggested that the Browns should trade Myles Garrett to the Detroit Lions. In exchange, Cleveland would receive two first-round picks and wide receiver Jameson Williams.

The Cleveland Browns ’ decision to trade for Deshaun Watson in 2022 and hand him a fully guaranteed $230 million contract has been nothing short of a disaster. The Browns’ quarterback situation has remained unstable for years, but given the difficulty of cutting or trading Watson, it could create an opportunity for him to redeem himself in 2026.

While it looks almost certain that the Cleveland Browns will be utilizing their No. 6 pick on an offensive player, it's not known which position it will be.

Indiana University's Fernando Mendoza, who is widely expected to be drafted with the No. 1 overall pick by the Las Vegas Raiders, is unanimously considered the top quarterback prospect in the 2026 NFL Draft. There is somewhat less consensus about who is the No. 2 quarterback prospect, but in general, Alabama's Ty Simpson has the most support.

If the Cleveland Browns hired a head coach hoping to raise their profile with some of the incoming quarterbacks in the 2026 NFL draft, Todd Monken may have been a perfect addition for them.

The Cleveland Browns are expected to pursue quarterback help, and the team is linked to adding a former No. 2 overall pick.
