Cleveland Browns quarterback Kenny Pickett.
The Cleveland Browns have a handful of significant decisions to make at the quarterback position before the summer concludes, including the order of their active signal callers and which of the four they will ultimately cut or trade.
The majority of opinions from NFL insiders and those who cover the Browns specifically is that one of the team’s two veteran options will be the one to go. Nick Pedone of 92.3 The Fan gave his take on Friday, June 20.
“I’m not convinced that it’s not gonna work out, I just think that’s like the clunkiest scenario — is Kenny Pickett in general, because I don’t really understand where he fits in here,” Pedone said. “I think the path is probably Joe Flacco as your starter and then bridge to Shedeur [Sanders] or Dillon Gabriel, whichever one looks better. And you get both of those guys regular-season cracks this season.”
“I just think that’s the clunkiest scenario, Kenny Pickett, in general…I think the clunkiest situation is Joe Flacco. He’s not going to be your QB next year.”
“Kenny Pickett is just a little bit lost on me because I don’t really understand where he fits from day one. I’ve never really seen him play elite-level quarterback,” Pedone continued. “At best, I do think [head coach Kevin] Stefanski can salvage [Pickett’s] career into being some sort of game manager, but even that’s a little bit hopeful. I’m trying to sell myself here … on a guy who can hopefully become a game manager, and that doesn’t feel great.”
