Veteran QB Joe Flacco earned the starting job. Rookie quarterbacks Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders both showed flashes of good play, along with some concerning plays indicative of third and fifth-round picks.
Instead of keeping all four, Cleveland is sending Pickett to the Raiders:
Pickett was the first quarterback the Browns acquired this offseason in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles. Cleveland gave up QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson (since released) and a fifth-round pick to acquire the former first-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
In this trade with Las Vegas, the Browns get a fifth-round pick back to balance their Pickett-related (minus DTR) trades this offseason.
What do you think about this trade? Are you shocked the Browns got value for Pickett despite him not playing? Is this a good sign for the rookies?
