Brian Hoyer Argues Deshaun Watson, Now Healthy, Is Browns’ Best QB Option for 2026
Former Cleveland Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer asserts that a healthy Deshaun Watson remains the most viable solution for the team’s quarterback situation in 2026. Citing Watson’s significant guaranteed contract and the opportunity under new head coach Todd Monken, Hoyer believes Watson can recapture his elite form and lead the Browns, despite past injuries and off-field issues.
This perspective also acknowledges that the looming competition with promising young talent like Shedeur Sanders will ultimately benefit the team, either by pushing Watson to perform or by identifying the future leader.
