Shedeur Sanders Remains Browns’ Emergency QB as Trade Speculation Builds

Cleveland’s veteran-first plan keeps Sanders idle, fueling outside trade talk.

Overview

  • Cleveland is 0-2 and staying with Joe Flacco at quarterback, with rookie Dillon Gabriel as QB2 and Sanders inactive as the dressed emergency option.
  • Dianna Russini reported the Browns do not expect the fifth-round rookie to see regular-season snaps unless circumstances become unusual.
  • ESPN’s Dan Graziano said league conversations could include Cleveland’s quarterbacks before the November 4 trade deadline, with veterans Greg Newsome II and David Njoku also cited as potential chips.
  • Adam Schefter reported Sanders told the Ravens not to draft him, a decision Cam Newton framed as seeking a clearer path to playing time; Sanders declined to revisit the draft topic this week.
  • Sanders said scout-team reps are his “gameday” and that he is ready for an opportunity, with The Sporting News noting his reported $1.16 million salary and pundits floating speculative fits such as the Steelers and Saints.
