CLEVELAND, Ohio — If you’re planning to attend Cleveland Browns training camp this year, prepare for an unprecedented spectacle. The latest Orange & Brown Talk podcast reveals why this year’s camp — particularly the eight open practices — will offer fans a rare opportunity to witness a genuine four-way quarterback battle that could shape the franchise’s immediate future.
“The No. 1 thing that you have to watch at training camp is all four of those quarterbacks are going to still be two-spotting and they’re going to be still on their different fields doing 7-on-7s over here and 7-on-7s over there,” Browns beat reporter Mary Kay Cabot advised fans on the podcast.
This “two-spotting” dynamic — where quarterbacks simultaneously run plays on different fields — creates a unique viewing experience that requires strategic planning. Cabot recommends bringing binoculars and figuring out “how you can divide your time watching four quarterbacks try to win this job.”
What makes this year’s training camp particularly special is the wide-open nature of the competition. Unlike most camps where the fourth-string quarterback gets minimal reps and attention, all four Browns quarterbacks will be heavily involved in the battle, including fan-favorite Shedeur Sanders.
“When usually you have the fourth string quarterback, he is not going to get that many reps in training camp and you’re really not going to see him do very much. But in this case, the fourth string quarterback is Shedeur Sanders,” Cabot noted. “Fans are still going to get to watch him do all the cool stuff and probably get his first work with the starters.”
The timing is critical for fans hoping to witness this quarterback competition in its full, undecided glory. Host Dan Labbe emphasized the unique window of opportunity: “These are the eight days you want to be at because like you said, once we get back from those Philly practices, we’re probably going to have some clarity on this whole competition. And so these eight days are going to be like, these four guys are still all going to be very much in the running.”
This early period of training camp will feature quarterbacks working with first-team receivers like Jerry Jeudy and David Njoku while facing defensive stars like Myles Garrett and Mason Graham. It’s a rare chance to see all four signal-callers getting meaningful work before the competition narrows.
The logistics of viewing this quarterback battle require some strategy. Labbe shared his experience from minicamp: “I thought I had found the perfect spot at minicamp. The two fields they were practicing on, I found this spot right in the middle. So I was able to watch both guys. And then I feel like every Browns employee thought the same thing and thought they found the perfect spot and stood right in front of me.”
His advice for fans: “Head on a swivel at these things. Make sure if you want to watch this two-spotting, get ready to move, try and get up high in those bleachers.”
This quarterback competition represents more than just a training camp storyline — it’s a pivotal moment that will shape the Browns’ 2025 season. With veterans and young prospects all vying for the starting role, fans have a unique opportunity to witness a true competition unfold before decisions are made.
