Finebaum Urges Browns to Chase Brendan Sorsby for 2027 Pick as QB Uncertainty Deepens

3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Sports · Jun 17

Summary

  • Paul Finebaum said Cleveland should pursue Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby in a possible July supplemental draft, arguing the Browns have "not much to lose" with their current quarterback room.
  • Deshaun Watson is entering the final year of his contract, while fifth-rounder Shedeur Sanders, sixth-rounder Taylen Green and Dillon Gabriel leave Cleveland without a clear franchise answer.
  • Sorsby carries baggage from a gambling ordeal that derailed his college career, but Finebaum said his talent could still justify a Browns gamble if the NFL makes him available.
  • A successful bid would likely cost Cleveland a 2027 draft pick — potentially a fourth-rounder — and would force the Browns to cut another quarterback to reach a three-man 53-man roster.
