Though he only appeared in six games with four starts for the Baltimore Ravens in 2022, quarterback Tyler Huntley made the Pro Bowl as an alternate.
The 26-year-old has 20 appearances and nine total starts on his resume, which makes him one of the league’s more experienced backups.
However, Huntley could find himself out in Cleveland after only a few months. The Browns signed Jameis Winston to be Deshaun Watson’s backup this offseason and have 2023 fifth-round pick Dorian Thompson-Robinson on the roster.
Thompson-Robinson made two starts for the Browns last season and has shown a lot of physical upside during the last two preseasons. Cleveland is open to the idea of cashing in on his potential via a trade.
“A league source said the Browns have been willing to engage in discussions about moving Thompson-Robinson with teams looking to bolster their quarterback rooms,” The Athletic’s Zac Jackson wrote
However, if the Browns don’t find a trade partner for the second-year quarterback, Huntley could be on the move. Cleveland would only save $682,600 by releasing the Utah product, but it may be unwilling to keep four quarterbacks on the active roster—though, after last year’s injuries at the position, that might not be the worst idea.
