Overview

  • Sanders remains fourth on the Browns’ quarterback depth chart behind Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel with Deshaun Watson set to return from rehab.
  • Trade speculation has intensified after NFL Trade Rumors suggested Cleveland could move Sanders as a buy-low asset before training camp.
  • Sanders has ramped up private workouts, including extra reps shared on social media and measured drills in Miami, to sharpen his mechanics.
  • Coach Kevin Stefanski has emphasized that evaluation will hinge on performance rather than draft position, despite Sanders falling to No. 144 overall.
  • Toronto Argonauts holding his CFL negotiating rights present an alternative path if Sanders fails to secure a long-term NFL backup role.
