Although the Browns have seemed likely to draft a quarterback early in 2026, that may not be the case.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, NFL insider Albert Breer of SI believes the Browns want to get as clean a read on Gabriel going into 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is another team that wants to support its young quarterback, for reasons different than Tennessee\u2019s. In this case, it\u2019d be to get as clean a read on them as possible ahead of 2026,\u201d Breer wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Breer believes that could mean the Browns don\u2019t trade David Njoku to give Gabriel as many weapons as possible to see if he is the guy.<\/p>\n<p>If Gabriel continues to struggle, perhaps the Browns will address a quarterback early in the 2026 NFL Draft. But for the time being, Gabriel is the starting quarterback for Cleveland now and at least for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Browns Coach Confident in Gabriel<\/h2>\n<p>Despite Cleveland\u2019s offense and Gabriel struggling, the Browns will remain with the rookie quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>Cleveland is on its bye week, and ahead of the bye week, Stefanski made it clear that the Browns will remain with Gabriel at quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just want to make the point that we just have to be better in every area. And we\u2019ll look at everything we do, including how we\u2019re putting these guys in position to succeed,\u201d Stefanski said. \u201cAre we doing enough? When I say looking at every position, are we doing enough with the quarterback position? Do we need to do a better job? And I think I know the answer is yes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stefanski, meanwhile, said Gabriel will continue to learn and get better, which they are confident about.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, as you know, playing good on offense is about 11 guys on the field, and us as coaches doing our job. Obviously, young players will learn in each outing that they\u2019re out there \u2013 I think Dillon will continue to learn, will continue to get better, but it\u2019s really an entire offensive type of thing where we all need to be better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gabriel threw for 156 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions last week in a lopsided loss to the New England Patriots.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Cleveland Not Thinking About Starting Sanders<\/h2>\n<p>Although Gabriel has struggled on offense, the Browns aren\u2019t thinking about benching him.<\/p>\n<p>Shedeur Sanders has been the backup quarterback, and there have been calls for the rookie quarterback to start. However, Stefanski said his focus isn\u2019t on Sanders or letting him start.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, honestly, my focus is where we are right now. That\u2019s not my focus,\u201d Stefanski said about Sanders.<\/p>\n<p>Sanders was inactive due to a back injury, but he claims he\u2019s healthy. During the bye week, the rookie quarterback dropped a bombshell, as he said he has to stay in Cleveland so he can stay ready.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not coming to CU homecoming, I can\u2019t make it out there, I wish I could though. I just can\u2019t happen, I got treatment out here. I gotta get ready, big ready,\u201d Sanders\u00a0said.<\/p>\n<p>The Browns will go on the road to play the New York Jets in Week 10.<\/p>\n<p>Cole Shelton Cole Shelton covers the NHL and MLB for Heavy.com.
