Josh Rosen’s short-lived stay in Cleveland is coming to an end.
The former first-round pick has been cut by the Browns, per reports, a little over a month after he signed with the team.
The Browns — and the rest of the NFL — are trimming their roster to 53 players ahead of Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET deadline, with apparent plans to carry three quarterbacks.
Cleveland’s starting quarterback, Deshaun Watson, has been placed on the suspended list as of Tuesday afternoon, as he begins his 11-game suspension following allegations of sexual misconduct. Jacoby Brissett is expected to start in Watson’s absence with Josh Dobbs likely to settle into the backup role, per Pro Football Talk.

Upon being selected after fellow quarterbacks in his draft class — Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold and Josh Allen — Rosen infamously said: “Nine mistakes were made ahead of me. And I will make sure over the next decade or so that they will know that they made a mistake.”
Rosen only lasted a season with the Cardinals before he was traded to the Dolphins in 2019 to make way for Arizona to draft Kyler Murray. Since then, the 25-year-old quarterback has bounced around the league, landing with the Buccaneers, 49ers, Falcons and now the Browns.
Rosen has appeared in 24 regular-season games, throwing for 2,864 yards, 12 touchdowns, and 21 interceptions.
