Browns will not name a quarterback this week, and Nick Mansour is not pretending that is normal
Mary Kay Cabot · Aug. 15, 2026
BEREA, Ohio — Mansour said Friday he does not intend to publish a depth chart this week and would not commit to publishing one next week either, three weeks and a day from the opener at Jacksonville.
'I'm not going to name one this week,' he said. 'That's about what I still need to see and when I need to see it, and it isn't about any of the three of them. Ask me again after Buffalo.'
Shedeur Sanders took the first-team period Wednesday. Dillon Gabriel took it Thursday. Friday's opening period was split six snaps apiece, with rookie Taylen Green running the third unit all three days. Two of the three quarterbacks are on rookie contracts signed by a general manager who no longer works here.

You all rewrote four years of opinions in about a week because a new guy said one word into a microphone. Nobody in here has once asked what it cost. 117 million dollars is a defensive line and a slot receiver and you traded it for ninety seconds of feeling good about yourselves.
u/mudhen_mel96 points6h
The money was gone in 2022. You are billing the guy who took the trash out for the smell

u/DueProcessDave44-19 points5h
It was not gone. A March restructure pushes it into 27 and 28 and every competent front office in this league does exactly that, every year, without holding a press conference about it. He picked the single most expensive day on the calendar because the most expensive day is the one that ends up on television.
u/spotrac_sicko19 points5h
The restructure you keep describing is a loan against next year and this team has already taken that loan four separate times. Taking it a fifth time is how you end up doing all of this again in 2029

u/DueProcessDave44-34 points4h
Every team takes that loan. You have talked yourselves into believing a cap charge is a moral position and it took you nine days. I will be right here in November when this line is getting bulldozed and none of you want to talk about principle.
u/mudhen_mel11 points4h
See you in November
u/ninefingerdave
browns174 points7h Mary Kay filing four hundred words on how not naming a quarterback is a sign of discipline is the most on brand thing that has happened all summer. She has been doing that front office's laundry since Holmgren and this sub reacts like it is fresh information every single time
Edit: the front office, not her personally. Some of you are reading this as though I said something about a person
u/berea_bystander_browns16 points6h She has outlasted six regimes doing it. At some point that stops being water carrying and starts being an accurate description of the job
u/ClarkAveClark14 points6h
Did you read the piece. She quotes him saying he has no answer and then quotes two scouts saying the same thing about the same three guys. What is she carrying exactly
u/ninefingerdavebrowns3 points5h Fair
u/its_a_dry_heat1 point4h
I like her stuff. I do not think anybody who has to be in that building five days a week could write it any other way.
u/OldBrooklynOlly🐕dawg2 points5h
Grossi said a harsher version of the same thing on Wednesday at about nine times the volume and nobody made a thread about that.
u/lakewood_wire12 points5h
From Grossi on 850, Wednesday: 'Thirty nine years I have been driving out to Berea and I have never once watched three quarterbacks decline the same job in a row.'
u/CarnegieAndOntario18 points6h
Three quarterbacks and each one of them has been the best guy in that quarterback room for about four days at a time. Sanders on Wednesday, Gabriel on Thursday, split perod on Friday, and the rookie ran third team all three days. That is not a competition, that is a rotation
u/Willoughby_Willbrowns214 points6h Yeah this is so Browns lol

u/Elyria_Ed🧝Model Citizen1 point4h
It is 41 if you start at 1999 and 39 if you start at 2001, and the fact that this sub has the same argument about the same list every August is funnier to me than the list is.
u/mackinawmackinaw2 points5h
Green looked the best of the three on Tuesday and he is a sixth round rookie out of Arkansas, which tells you where we are more than the rest of this does.
u/hough_ave_hank1 point4h
Watched the whole stream and I could not honestly tell you who won a single rep. From that camera everything happens behind the line and then somebody claps.
u/CuyahogaCorrections🧝brownie-elf141 points6h
Update: The Browns have named a Week 1 starter. It is Corey Bojorquez. Bojorquez will operate out of an unbalanced set with two tight ends and has agreed to a four year, 88 million dollar extension, fully guaranteed. Mansour said the decision came off a spreadsheet he built in 2021 and has never shown anybody.
u/toledo_by_marriage8 points5h

u/ForeverOptimistCLEbrowns-12 points6h Real question and I am not trying to start anything. If the money is spent either way, why does it matter whether it sits on this year's cap or gets spread across three. It is the same dollars leaving the same account. I have asked this twice now and people downvote it and nobody answers.
u/spotrac_sicko15 points5h
Cap dollars and real dollars are two different things. The real money left in 2022. What you are paying now is the room, and the room this year is a three technique and a fourth corner we do not have
u/ForeverOptimistCLEbrowns4 points5h Ok. That is the first answer anybody has given me that made sense. Thank you.

Watching this at two in the morning from Bolton because I picked this lot in 2017 off a highlights video and they were my favourite thing in the world by about November. I also support Bolton Wanderers. My dad asked me last year whether I was doing it deliberately and I have still not come up with anything to tell him
u/tollbooth_tony🟫Fuck Watson11 points5h
Bolton Wanderers and the Cleveland Browns at the same time is not a hobby, that is a diagnosis and I hope you are getting help
u/BayVillageBrenda2 points4h
Welcome and we are so sorry
u/Solon_Stevebrowns13 points5h The part I keep coming back to is that the league still wants a name on the availability report every Wednesday, so somebody in that building has to type one whether the man has decided or not
u/twelve_ounce_curls2 points5h
Somebody is getting ninety thousand a year to be the person who types it
u/pearl_road_petebrowns10 points5h he has never done this and neither has anyone else we've hired so

Nine hires with resumes and one without and the results have been identical nine times, which ought to tell people somethign and will not.

From Cabot, further down the same piece: 'Mansour said he does not intend to publish a depth chart this week and would not commit to publishing one next week.'
u/deep_cut_daveera ended1 point3h
So that is a no on the depth chart. Cool. Cool cool cool.

Got everything we asked for and I still havent felt anythingFandom
I am not writing this to be dramatic and I am not asking anybody to talk me into anything.
The Haslams are gone. The stadium is staying on the lake. The worst thing this organization ever did to us got undone in a week by a man who did not even work here in December. For four years I said out loud that if they did those three things I would be fine.
They did all three and I have watched about nine minutes of camp. I put the stream on last Tuesday and went and made dinner in the other room and forgot it was on. My brother texted me about Green and I looked at the message for a while and did not answer him.
I dont think I am angry. I think whatever part of me was doing the being angry is just not there anymore and I dont know what is supposed to go in that space. Anybody else

u/canal_road_carlbrowns541 points20h It was supposed to be the thing you did on Sunday. Now it is a thing I have opinions about
u/EdgewaterEllenOP88 points19h
That is it, that is the whole thing. I have opinions about a football team and no feelings about it and I cannot work out which one I lost first
u/wickliffe_walt🧝brownie-elf288 points20h
The honest answer for me is the Watson trade and I know everybody is tired of hearing it. I was thirty four when that happened and I had never missed a game. Not a game, not a draft, not a Sunday since my dad started taking me . Then they made me part of it, and there was nothing I could do about that except stop, so I stopped. I have watched maybe nine full games in four years. What this new guy did in January was the right thing and I cried in my kitchen about it like an idiot, and I still cannot make myself sit down and watch a practice. I do not think it comes back on a schedule. I think it either comes back or it does not.
u/parma_pierogi_🧝brownie-elf164 points19h
Every time this comes up somebody says it was only football and it was never only football. They took the one thing that was mine and made me argue with my brother about a sex pest for four years.

I came back in February. Not because of him, because of Brook Park. I know that is a stupid reason to come back to something and it is my reason.
u/BedfordHtsBeccabrowns19 points19h I renewed. I want to be honest that I renewed the day after they killed the stadium move and I have not watched a minute of camp. Both of those are true and I do not know what to do with either one
u/EdgewaterEllenOP9 points18h
This is the exact thing I was trying to say and could not.
u/nine_and_ten17 points19h
I think the honest version is that being angry was a whole hobby. It had a schedule and a group chat and now there is nothing on the calendar. The football was never the part I was doing

Nobody wants to hear this but part of it is that the team is bad. If they were 9 and 3 nobody would be posting about the spark. We are three weeks from a season where the best case is seven wins and the worst case is that the quarterback thing never gets answered
u/canal_road_carlbrowns9 points17h Yeah. Half of this thread is a feeling and the other half is a depth chart and people keep answering the wrong one.
