Shedeur Sanders Faces Three-Game Audition as Browns Weigh QB Future

With three games left, his performance will shape Cleveland's offseason quarterback plan.

Overview

  • After a 31-3 loss to the Bears, Sanders posted a 30.3 passer rating with a career-high three interceptions in his fourth start.
  • Mary Kay Cabot says he has three chances to show he can be the 2026 starter, with the Browns also holding two first-round picks in 2026.
  • Bills coach Sean McDermott called Sanders a "good young player" ahead of Sunday’s matchup, noting the threat of his toolset.
  • Film review highlights cleaner mechanics and deep-ball flashes to Isaiah Bond, but flags slow pre-to-post-snap recognition and a tendency to lock onto Harold Fannin.
  • Joe Thomas defended the rookie as underprepared for first-team reps and thrust into a rough situation, as Cleveland sits 3-11 and Sanders has absorbed heavy hits in recent weeks.
