Browns head coach Todd Monken spoke at a press gathering to discuss the Myles Garrett trade and was asked if the Browns would consider taking scandal-plagued Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby in the upcoming 2026 NFL Supplemental Draft.

I think that's a slippery slope when you go down that, irrespective of talent, right? In terms of the situation he's in, we all know what that is (gambled illegally). He put himself in that situation. And we've seen in other sports with players that have been banned for life from playing in professional sports.
"But from my end of it, kind of a tough angle to go down that road and think that's going to be your franchise quarterback if he's ever eligible to even play in the NFL."
My take: The Browns' likely starter this season once settled 24 sexual assault and abuse lawsuits. If they won't take the chance on Sorsby ...
