The Cleveland Browns don’t have much more than the faintest idea at the moment who their starting quarterback is going to be entering the 2018 season. It could be Kirk Cousins. It could be Sam Darnold. It could be AJ McCarron. It could be Baker Mayfield. It could be DeShone Kizer. A lot will happen between now and September to determine that—or at least between now and March 14.
It’s also a question as to who is going to be their blindside protector, assuming that they are a right-handed quarterback, because the greatest player to ever play for the franchise in the current era, Joe Thomas, is still weighing whether or not he wants to return for a 12th season after suffering a season-ending injury in 2017.
