Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry did not rule out selecting quarterback Ty Simpson in the 2026 NFL Draft. Berry emphasized the team's affection for its current quarterbacks amid speculation about picks at No. 6 and No. 24 overall. Meanwhile, Miami Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan confirmed running back De'Von Achane is not available for trade.
Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry addressed questions about drafting a quarterback ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. The Browns hold first-round picks at No. 6 and No. 24. Among CBS Sports mock drafts, only Pete Prisco projects them taking Alabama's Ty Simpson on Day 1. Berry said, 'I'd say I don't love dealing in hypotheticals... if we add a quarterback, we have a lot of love for our quarterbacks in the room.' Shedeur Sanders, Deshaun Watson and Dillon Gabriel remain under contract next season. Watson missed 2025 after an Achilles injury in 2024, with Berry noting the injury impacted performance but stressing individualized evaluations under first-year coach Todd Monken. Simpson highlighted his connection to Monken through his father, UT Martin's Jason Simpson, calling a potential Browns stint 'a dream come true' via Cleveland.com. Monken expressed fondness for Simpson's patience behind Jalen Milroe at Alabama. Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan stated De'Von Achane is unavailable amid contract talks, with positive progress noted. Achane rushed for 1,350 yards and eight touchdowns in 2025, entering his rookie deal's final year. Despite Miami's rebuild under coach Jeff Hafley—including trading Jaylen Waddle, parting with Tyreek Hill and naming Malik Willis starter—Sullivan affirmed Achane's importance. Other buzz includes New York Jets' No. 2 pick odds favoring Ohio State's Arvell Reese, per FanDuel and CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones. Reese posted 69 tackles, 10 for loss and 6.5 sacks last season. Wide receiver Omar Cooper from Indiana is rising, potentially the third off the board after strong combine showings and national title play.
