The Cleveland Browns Choose a New Quarterback

Introduction

The Cleveland Browns team needs a starting quarterback. They will decide soon during team practice on May 19.

Main Body

Deshaun Watson is a famous player. He has a very expensive contract. However, he was hurt and did not play in 2025. The team must decide if he is still the best choice. Shedeur Sanders is a new player. Some people think he is very good. The team had a bad year in 2025. They did not score many points. This may be why Sanders has low numbers. Other players like Dillon Gabriel also want the job. Coach Todd Monken says the best player will start. The players must work hard in training camp to win the position.

Conclusion

The team does not have a starting quarterback yet. They will choose after the players practice.

⚡ THE 'NOT' POWER

In this story, we see how to say something is not happening or not true. This is the fastest way to move from A1 to A2.

How it works: Subject + do/does not + Action

From the text:

  • "...did not play in 2025" → (Past time: He was absent)
  • "They did not score many points" → (Past time: Zero or low score)
  • "The team does not have a starting quarterback" → (Now: The spot is empty)

💡 Simple Rule: Use DO NOT for now. Use DID NOT for before.

Example Swap: I have a car \rightarrow I do not have a car. I played \rightarrow I did not play.
