Browns Add Veteran QB Tyler Huntley
The Cleveland Browns just made a notable move at quarterback, and it could shake up the roster battles heading into preseason. Veteran signal-caller Tyler Huntley has signed with the team, joining a crowded QB room that already includes Shedeur Sanders, Joe Flacco, Dillon Gabriel, and Kenny Pickett.
Huntley’s arrival, reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, comes at a time when the Browns are managing a wave of injuries in training camp. Deshaun Watson remains out with an Achilles injury, while both Pickett and Gabriel are nursing hamstring issues. Sanders has also been limited by shoulder soreness, leaving Cleveland thin at the most critical position.
This signing might signal that the Browns are not fully confident in their current quarterback depth, especially as they gear up for their preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers on Friday, August 8.

Huntley brings experience, though his career has had its ups and downs. After entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Baltimore Ravens in 2020, he saw action through 2023 before brief stints with the Browns and Dolphins. In 14 career starts, he’s posted a 5-9 record, 2,786 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions, with another 644 rushing yards and 5 scores on the ground.
Now that Huntley is back in Cleveland, it raises questions about Sanders’ path to a roster spot. While Flacco is the likely Week 1 starter, the rest of the depth chart remains fluid. At best, two or three backup spots are up for grabs and the competition is heating up.
Here’s how the Browns’ quarterback depth chart looks right now:
- Joe Flacco
- Kenny Pickett
- Dillon Gabriel
- Shedeur Sanders
- Tyler Huntley
With preseason play just days away, Shedeur Sanders must prove he belongs, or risk being the odd man out.
