Cleveland Browns Sign Veteran Quarterback: Shedeur Sanders' Roster Spot In Jeopardy?

Tyler Huntley is now a Cleveland Brown per ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. Huntley now joins a quarterback room with Shedeur Sanders, Joe Flacco, Dillon Gabriel, and Kenny Pickett. Deshaun Watson remains on the Browns roster but is still out due to his torn achilles suffered last season. 

The Browns quarterback room has suffered multiple injuries during training camp and they desperately need another arm as their preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers on Friday, August 8 approaches. Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel are each battling hamstring injuries and Shedeur Sanders has been dealing with a sore shoulder. 

Tyler Huntley has bounced around in his NFL career since being signed as an undrafted free agent by the Baltimore Ravens in 2020. Huntley played in Baltimore form 2020 through 2023 before being signed by the Cleveland Browns prior to the 2024 season. Huntley never saw the playing field with the Browns and was released before the season. 

Later in the 2024 season, he was signed by the Miami Dolphins and ended up playing in five games. 

For his career Huntley has started 14 games and has a 5-9 record with 2,786 passing yards, 11 passing touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. He has another 644 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns on the ground. 

More Competition for Shedeur Sanders

It won't be easy for Shedeur Sanders to make the Browns 53-man roster when Week One kicks off. Signs are pointing towards Joe Flacco getting the starting nod. That leaves Gabriel, Sanders, Pickett, and now Huntley fighting for the remaining 2-3 spots on the gameday roster.

The Browns depth chart currently is listed as followed.

1. Joe Flacco

2. Kenny Pickett

3. Dillon Gabriel

4. Shedeur Sanders
