Browns $88 Million Former QB Key Player Reportedly Working Out With 49ers Due To…
The Cleveland Browns have learned their lesson.
Fortunately, they have more than enough depth at the quarterback position as we enter the upcoming campaign.
Deshaun Watson will have Jameis Winston, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, and Tyler Huntley to back him up and share the QB room with.
That’s on the heels of one of the most complicated seasons this franchise has ever been through at the quarterback position, and that’s a lot to say.
Notably, a former Browns QB will also look to get paid, albeit with another team.
According to a report by Matt Barrows of The Athletic, Kellen Mond will partake in the San Francisco 49ers’ local Pro Day (via ProFootballTalk).
Despite not being an NFL Draft prospect, Mond will get the chance alongside some college players and veterans to showcase his skills and continue his career in the league.
He was a third-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2021 and made a single appearance for them as a rookie, completing 2 of 3 passes for five yards.
He didn’t make the team the following season and was signed by the Cleveland Browns after being claimed off waivers, but he didn’t play a single snap.
Then, he joined the Indianapolis Colts’ practice squad last season.
The Niners also know firsthand what it’s like to have to dig deep into the depth chart because of injured quarterbacks, so now that Sam Darnold left town to join the Vikings, it makes sense that they want some more depth behind Brock Purdy, with another former Brown in Josh Dobbs and Brandon Allen as his current backups.

New Browns QBs Have Picked Their Jersey Numbers..
The Cleveland Browns already have a quarterback, and they hope he finally delivers in 2024.
Nonetheless, if history has taught us a lesson, it is that you can never have too much depth at quarterback.
That’s why GM Andrew Berry addressed that situation early in the offseason, bringing in a couple of veterans in Jameis Winston and Tyler Huntley to join Deshaun Watson and Dorian Thompson-Robinson in the QB room.
Now, and with multiple players no longer on the premises, the new arrivals have finally chosen their new numbers, with Winston choosing No. 5 and Huntley taking No. 10, which was previously worn by P.J. Walker (via NFL Jersey Numbers).
Huntley could be a bit of a wild card.
He knows the AFC North division well from his days with the Baltimore Ravens, and he should be quite useful on scouts teams, especially when the Browns have to prepare for Lamar Jackson.
As for Winston, he’s one of the best backup quarterbacks in the game right now.
He’s a former No. 1 pick, an athletic freak, and a great presence in the locker room.
So, even if some Browns fans were disappointed at the fact that the team didn’t bring Joe Flacco back after all he did, Winston should be a difference-maker in Berea.
Then again, the Browns hope that Deshaun Watson will be good for them in 2024, as they’ve given up so much to get him there, and he hasn’t exactly been at his best in the handful of games he’s been available to play.
