The Cleveland Browns are declining former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett’s fifth-year option, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com.

The Browns have a lot to sort out at quarterback in 2025, but they've reportedly moved ahead with a decision about 2026 before that process gets going.

A source confirmed to ESPN on Monday the Cleveland Browns will not exercise the fifth-year option on quarterback Kenny Pickett, 26, the No. 20 overall pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2022 NFL draft who played for the Philadelphia Eagles last year.

The Cleveland Browns have signed former Pittsburgh Steelers Pro Bowl wide receiver Diontae Johnson to a one-year contract. Johnson visited the Browns on Monday and promptly agreed to a one-year shortly after that meeting. He joins Jerry Jeudy in the wide receiver room with a bunch of question marks at quarterback.

The Browns had a free-agent visit from well-traveled wide receiver Diontae Johnson on Monday that ended with an agreement to terms.

Diontae Johnson returns to the AFC North after the wide receiver went from the Panthers, to the Ravens, to the Texans and back to the Ravens last season.
