The Cleveland Browns do not carry four -quarters on their list of 53 men after all, after a breathtaking wife on Monday evening.
The Browns treated the Kenny Pickett veteran at the Raiders of Las Vegas in exchange for a recovery choice of the NFL of fifth round in 2026.
The raiders were desperate for a quarter of aid at Geno Smith, for which they exchanged this offseason earlier with the Seattle Seahawks to bring him together with his former head coach, Pete Carroll. Aidan O’Connell fractured his wrist during the pre-season final of the raiders, putting him away for 6 to 8 weeks.

O’Connell was to support Smith this season, but this long absence forced Las Vegas to look elsewhere. Carroll said he wanted someone with a starting experience, and the raiders get them in the fourth year of Pitt.
Pickett has 25 departures under his NFL belt, going 15-10 above this range with the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, he could not solidify the starting work there, which finally led to a business with the Eagles of Philadelphia before the 2024 season. This is where Pickett saved Jalen Hurts on the Chemin des Eagles to a victory of the Super Bowl Lix last season.

Pickett was then exchanged from Philadelphia to Cleveland, while the Browns assembled their quarter room with Deshaun Watson sidelined by a torn Achilles. Pickett was in competition with the veteran Joe Flacco – who already named the starter of week 1 by head coach Kevin Stefanski – as well as the recruits Dillon Gabriel (third round) and Shedeur Sanders (fifth round).
An injury to the hamstrings suffered at the start of the training camp cost Pickett for a precious time to compete for its place. He did not play in any of the team’s pre-season games, although Stefanski mentioned after the final against the Los Angeles Rams which he thought that Pickett would return in time for week 1.
With Flacco already locked up as a starter, the question of who Stefanski would choose as the help of the Browns has attracted additional attention, in particular with the national spotlight on Sanders, the son of the renowned temple Deion Sanders. ESPN recently reported that the Browns were preparing to transport four quarters on their list of 53 men, but trade changes this situation.

Tyler “Snoop” Huntley, brought after Pickett and Gabriel, treated injury to the early training camp, were canceled by the Browns after his pre-season action.
Thus, while Pickett appears to intervene as a quarter-backing of the raiders to start the season, which will sit behind Flacco on the depth painting of the Browns will remain a subject of speculation until Stefanski makes the call.
Sanders strengthened his file with an impressive beginning of pre-season against the Carolina Panthers, completing 14 of the 23 passes for 138 yards and two affected, as well as four races for 19 yards. The injuries prevented him from the second game of the team, but he returned to the second half of the final against the Rams, where he had trouble – infiniting only 3 out of 6 yards while taking five bags.

Gabriel, after missing the opener, played in the last two pre-season games. He completed 25 of the 37 passes for 272 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Against the Rams, he went 12 out of 19 for 129 yards and launched his only hit from the pre-season.
The list of Browns, as well as all the other NFL teams, must be finalized on the deadline of Mard at 4 p.m. and.
