Cleveland Browns Consider Claiming Waived QB Joe Milton

The Cleveland Browns are evaluating their quarterback options after the recent waiver of Joe Milton by the Dallas Cowboys. This development comes as the Browns finalize their roster ahead of the deadline.

Cleveland had previously placed Dillon Gabriel on injured reserve, maintaining four quarterbacks on their roster. With the Browns positioned sixth in the waiver wire order, they have a chance to claim Milton, who was unexpectedly released by Dallas.

Milton, known for his strong arm but inconsistent accuracy, has played in five NFL games, including four for the Cowboys last season. His release has raised questions, especially since Dallas chose to retain Sam Howell as the backup. If the Browns decide to claim Milton, they will need to assess whether to keep four quarterbacks or prioritize Milton over current players Shedeur Sanders or Taylen Green.
