I do not see going into this year with the current QB room as a viable plan.
DW needs no discussion we have seen him play and not play.
Gabriel and Sanders are later round selections that were drafted as projects. Low risk but also not regarded as solutions to the quarterback position.
That leaves free agency, trade and the draft if a quarterback is going to be added to the roster.
Trading for a quarterback is suspect because someone is ready to give up on a quarterback. Good quarterbacks are not traded often.
The draft this year has one guy who is considered a franchise type player.
We already have two quarterbacks who are later round picks on the roster. Bringing a third QB from later in the draft into the QB room seems redundant.
That leaves free agents. Willis seems like the best option IMO. I am not interested in the other guys who might be brought in.
I am not ready to hand the job to Sheduer, Gabriel, or DW. Willis adds competition with possible upside.
Willis on a two year deal seems like a good play. If we draft a guy in 2027 Willis or one of the others can act as a bridge.

For reasons pit laid out, especially the part about money he will get and our cap situation, it is highly unlikely Willis will be a Brown.
so you might as well forget that idea.

Sanders and Gabriel are not getting paid much.
DW of course is getting paid.
$20 a year for two years from what I understand is doable.
No matter who they would sign as a free agent it would cost close to the same.
I don't know if they will do this? But from my POV they cannot just stay with what they have on the roster.

I believe they can go with the QBs on the roster.
And I’m 90 per cent certain they will.
SS is going to get every chance to build on his rookie year. Gabriel is trade bait at best. Watson could get an opportunity to be the day 1 starter.
Forget Derek Carr, Malik and Cousins.
