The Cleveland Browns have four quarterbacks on the roster, with Dillon Gabriel set to return from injured reserve after the first four games. The team's plans for the future are being discussed on 92.3 The Fan, with Browns reporter Daryl Ruiter predicting that the team will trade Shedeur Sanders to a team in need of a quarterback.
