Browns Keep Shedeur Sanders in Scout-Team Role as Trade Talk Builds Before Deadline

Cleveland is expected to stick with Joe Flacco through a tough stretch.

Overview

  • Shedeur Sanders remains the inactive third quarterback behind Joe Flacco and Dillon Gabriel, running the scout team and calling those practice reps his “gameday,” per cleveland.com.
  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the Ravens planned to draft Sanders until he told them not to, while Cam Newton said he sought a situation with a clearer path to snaps than behind Lamar Jackson or Jalen Hurts.
  • The 0-2 Browns prefer veteran stability for now, with Gabriel as QB2 and Sanders unlikely to play this season unless circumstances change, according to The Athletic and local reporting.
  • ESPN’s Dan Graziano said Cleveland could explore moves ahead of the Nov. 4 deadline, with the quarterback room expected to surface in trade discussions, and outside outlets have speculated about teams like the Steelers or Saints.
  • Sanders is reported to earn about $1.16 million this season and is gaining daily reps against a top defense as the organization frames his role as developmental.
