Las Vegas has chimed in, and the odds for Cleveland's starting quarterback position have been updated and released. After the offseason wrapped up, the lean right now before camp is that the starting quarterback position is going to go to Deshaun Watson.
As it stands right now, Watson is the leader in the clubhouse with -215 odds to be the starting quarterback while Shedeur Sanders is in second place with +168 odds. Dillon Gabriel (+5500) and Taylen Green (+8000) round out spots three and four.
The two guys at the top of the list have separated themselves as the clear frontrunners for the Browns quarterback job. For different reasons, both quarterbacks enter the season with immense personal pressure riding on the year. For Watson, 2026 feels like it is a last-chance go at his career.
If it goes well for Watson, he can prove that he can still play quarterback in the NFL. If it doesn't, there is a very realistic chance that he never gets another chance at playing the position in the league.
For Sanders, he is fighting for his career in Cleveland. He will absolutely get another chance in the NFL if it doesn't work out in Cleveland, but this is his last chance at it.
