Best of Browns on 92.3 The Fan: Is it now or never for Shedeur?

The episode of Afternoon Drive on 92.3 The Fan dives into the Browns' 2026 offseason, centering on the pivotal quarterback decision between Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson. Hosts Andy Baskin and Jeff Phelps debate whether Sanders has one final chance to prove himself as the franchise quarterback, with arguments ranging from his developmental progress and arm talent to the risk of being deemed a 'never the guy' elsewhere. The conversation evolves into a broader discussion about the Browns' draft strategy, with deep dives into the offensive line and wide receiver classes. The hosts analyze the potential for trading up or down, the risks of high-upside but high-risk picks like Jordan Tyson and Monroe Freeling, and the importance of drafting 'doubles'—players with high floors and consistent NFL impact. A significant portion of the show is devoted to Myles Garrett’s absence from voluntary OTAs, sparking debate over leadership, team culture, and whether his non-participation signals disengagement or simply a personal choice. The hosts express skepticism about the Browns’ leadership messaging, especially after owner Jimmy Haslam’s comments, and question whether the team is setting up a trade scenario for Garrett. The episode blends football strategy with humor, personal anecdotes, and cultural commentary, reflecting the frustration and hope of Browns fans as they await the team’s next moves.
