The Browns now face roster decisions. With Flacco locked in, the big question is who will serve as his backup. Will it be Pickett, Gabriel, or Sanders? Could Cleveland keep four quarterbacks on the roster, or will they explore trades?

• Kenny Pickett could be viewed as trade bait if another team is desperate.

• Sanders, despite the injury, has shown enough upside that he would draw trade interest.

• Gabriel looks like a system QB who could quietly develop as a long-term option.

Bettors should monitor these moves closely—QB depth directly affects season win totals and in-season odds if injuries strike.

With Flacco at the helm, sportsbooks are likely to view Cleveland as a stable but not explosive offense. Expect:

• Tighter spreads in divisional games against the Bengals, Ravens, and Steelers.

• Lower point totals in matchups, given Flacco’s preference for controlled, short-passing drives.

• Live betting opportunities if the Browns turn to a rookie midseason, creating swings in momentum.

For bettors, stability now doesn’t guarantee stability later. Keeping an eye on Flacco’s performance and the development of Sanders will be key to finding value in Browns games throughout the season.
