Cleveland sits 1-5 as Stefanski faces mounting pressure and locker-room tensions. The piece pins the woes on Andrew Berry’s cap-centric roster strategy, an fragile offensive line, and a wide-receiver group led by Jeudy that hasn’t hit expectations. With 11 games remaining, the franchise must translate talent into wins or risk a regime shakeup amid questions about development and long-term vision.

The Browns stand at a QB crossroads as Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders near real opportunities, with a 40.5 pass block grade and two heavy losses forcing a closer look. Gabriel’s faster release and higher draft position make him a likely first shot, but Sanders’ pedigree and better play under pressure keep the competition close. A London trip buys time, yet Week 7 against two winnable rivals could push Cleveland toward a decisive starter for 2026.
