The Cleveland Browns have a full quarterback room and have talked with "multiple teams" about a possible trade for second-year quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson, The Athletic reported Tuesday.

Deshaun Watson is the incumbent starter with Jameis Winston his expected backup. That leaves veteran Tyler Huntley to vie with Thompson-Robinson for the No. 3 spot.

The Browns signed Winston, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, to a one-year, $4 million deal in March. That same month, they added Huntley, formerly of the Baltimore Ravens, on a one-year, $1.29 million contract.

Thompson-Robinson signed a four-year, $4.18 million pact after the Browns selected him in the fifth round of the 2023 draft.

Per The Athletic, the Browns could trade to try to fill holes left by injuries elsewhere on the roster, such as along the offensive line and in the secondary.

Thompson-Robinson ended the 2023 season with a hip injury but has fully participated in summer practices.

As a rookie, Thompson-Robinson appeared in eight games (three starts) and completed 53.6 percent of his passes for 440 yards with one touchdown and four interceptions.
