Jared Mueller a lifelong Browns fan from Sandusky, Ohio who serves as the Producer for Dawgs By Nature and has been covering the Cleveland Browns for over a decade including at FanSided, The OBR and USA Today.
The path moving forward for the Cleveland Browns, like most teams, starts with the quarterback. At least on the field. Jimmy Haslam first has to decide what happens with GM Andrew Berry and HC Kevin Stefanski. The power structure with the Browns is key when understanding decisions.
With Berry and Stefanski likely, but not certainly, back in 2025, what happens at quarterback can be assumed or guessed but no one knows for sure:
- Jettison Deshaun Watson anyway they can
- Keep Watson on the roster but make him the inactive backup
- Give Watson a chance to compete with draft pick or free agent for the job
Cleveland hopes to have an answer if Dawand Jones can hold down the left tackle spot while many believe that Cedric Tillman has already proven he has an important future role with the team.
