US EditionWho will start at QB for the Cleveland Browns in Week 1? Oddsmaker releases early predictions following 2025 NFL Draft
- The Cleveland Browns face a quarterback competition for Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season involving Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, Shedeur Sanders, and Deshaun Watson.
- This battle follows offseason moves including trading for Pickett, drafting Gabriel and Sanders, and retaining Watson despite his uncertain availability due to injury recovery.
- Flacco, a 40-year-old veteran and former Super Bowl MVP, and Pickett, the younger former first-round pick with starting experience, are viewed as frontrunners in a quarterback-friendly scheme with solid supporting talent.
- Oddsmaker Adam Thompson lists Flacco as the early favorite at +650 with a 13.3% chance, while Watson’s odds stand at +900, reflecting uncertainty due to his injury and contract status.
- The Browns will finalize the starting quarterback through offseason workouts and preseason, with potential roster cuts to reduce five quarterbacks to a manageable number before the regular season.
