Kenny Pickett may be the odd man out from the Cleveland Browns quarterback competition
(Image via Getty: Tommy Rees) Tommy Rees, offensive coordinator of the Cleveland Browns, is substantiating that all four of his quarterbacks get equal repetitions of drills or plays during practice. But Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk at NBC Sports thinks Kenny Pickett might be the odd man out of the quartet competition at the starting position. Why? Because Joe Flacco has the experience and the fan base. Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel might be the long-term solution to the Cleveland Browns quarterback problem! However, that's not all. Tommy Rees is not sure. He says they are all pushing one another to put their best foot forward. Rees says by the time September rolls, they'll be ready to go! With whom? Only time will tell. Three months to go. For now, Rees is concentrating on the present moment. Let's hear what he has to say about the reps and quarterbacks. Tommy Rees says they are going to develop all four quarterbacks of the Cleveland Browns (Image via Getty: Tommy Rees) On June 5, Chris Easterling of Akron Beacon Journal reported that Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett got early 11-on-11 reps in the first open OTA, but in the second OTA, Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel got their share of the reps as well. Talking about this, Tommy Rees explained further, 'Rotation day by day has been kind of fluid. We're going to continue to work with all the guys we have. We're going to develop all four of them, and you know, we're going to push the reps. We're going to find ways to be creative to make sure that they all have opportunities to develop and put their best foot forward. And you know, when the time comes, we'll continue to push guys forward as they are.' Tommy Rees says the Cleveland Browns players are not just getting mental reps or reps from the sideline (Image via Getty: Quinshon Judkins and Denzel Ward) Tommy Rees diverts focus from the QB situation to other players and says this competition is a great way to maximize the potential of other players. Rees shared, 'It's a great way to maximize, look, it's not just one position group that's able to get maximized. You look at young wideouts, young linemen, young skill players across the board that we can get so many reps for now. Instead of them just getting the reps from the sideline or mental reps…now they're actually out there learning on the fly, and things come up. You might run the same play on two different fields, get two different defenses, and now you have two opportunities to coach off of. So I really do think it benefits the entirety of the team.' Offensive coordinator of the four quarterbacks of the Cleveland Browns says all four of them push one another to do their best (Image via Getty: Shedeur Sanders, Kenny Pickett, Joe Flacco) Tommy Rees did not spill the beans on who will be the odd man out, but he said, 'You can see them all winning the job, I think, right? And, so, in terms of the competition, we're so early in the process. We're so early in evaluating that. Yeah, I think, you know, we have a good group of guys that continue to push one another, and by the time September rolls around, we'll be ready to go.' The Cleveland Browns may give up on Kenny Pickett because Joe Flacco has the experience and the fan base Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk thinks QB Kenny Pickett may be the odd one out who will end up being traded. On June 5, Florio wrote, 'They will trim the competition to three before training camp opens, with one of the quartet being traded. We still think Pickett will be the odd man out, but that's just a hunch.' (Image via Getty: Dillon Gabriel) Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel each could be the long-term answer Florio said Joe Flacco has the experience and the affection of the fan base. The other two 2025 NFL draftees, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, could become the long-term answer to solving the quarterback problem with the Cleveland Browns.

Stefon Diggs' contract loophole might help Patriots cut him after boat video. Here's how
Stefon Diggs has been finding himself in the spotlight ever since the boat video surfaced, showing him passing a bag containing a pink substance to some women at a party. While the New England Patriots haven't yet announced any disciplinary action against the wide receiver, reports suggest that nothing is off the table, not even Diggs's removal from the team. But if the Patriots decide to part ways with Diggs, what about the guaranteed money in his mega contract with the franchise? Here's a closer look. The New England Patriots signed Stefon Diggs to a three-year, $69 million deal. It looks like a great deal on the surface. But due to the boat video controversy, there is a loophole that could be used to junk the deal. Diggs was coming from a gruesome knee injury as he signed the contract. Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio said that could be the Patriots' escape hatch. According to Florio, the $26 million guaranteed isn't guaranteed after all. Since he suffered a torn ACL last season, the wideout isn't entitled to a single penny until he passes a full physical. Certain segments of his contract clause confirm that the Patriots' cutting Diggs is at the table. According to Paragraph 26 (a) of the contract, Diggs will receive a $12 million signing bonus ($4 million in three parts). He has already received $4 million, with the next $4 million due on October 31, 2025, and the last $4 million due on March 31, 2025. But if the Patriots' physician says that Diggs isn't fit to participate in the team's practice session and he isn't fit to play, then the Patriots owe him nothing. Plain and simple. If the Patriots' physician believes that Stefon Diggs never healed from his knee injury, they get out of paying a big chunk of the contract. According to paragraph 27(e) of Diggs' contract, the focus is on the 'Pre-Existing Condition' of Diggs' knee. That means if his contract ends because of his pre-existing knee injury, then the Patriots won't have to pay him $10.6 million in guaranteed money besides the signing bonus.
