Overview

  • Shedeur Sanders remains fourth on the Browns’ depth chart behind Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel after limited first-team reps.
  • The rookie has been posting solo workout videos at Country Prime in full Browns gear as he sharpens his mechanics before training camp.
  • NFL Trade Rumors and other outlets report that Cleveland could explore trading Sanders if he fails to secure a roster spot.
  • Cleveland holds two potential top-10 first-round picks in 2026, offering a clear fallback plan for drafting a franchise quarterback.
  • Sanders’ drop from a projected first-round talent to the No. 144 pick underscores both his uphill battle and his perceived buy-low trade appeal.
