Overview
- The Argonauts placed Sanders on their newly public 45-player CFL negotiation list, securing exclusive signing rights if he ever pursues a Canadian career.
- Sanders signed a four-year, $4.65 million rookie deal with Cleveland after slipping to the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, binding him to the Browns through 2029 unless waived.
- He is vying for the backup QB2 role behind Deshaun Watson during Browns training camp, with his NFL roster outcome triggering CFL eligibility.
- Should Sanders be cut or moved to Cleveland’s practice squad, Toronto would have a ten-day window to finalize CFL negotiations.
- Toronto has previously used its negotiation list on former NFL quarterbacks such as Ricky Williams, Chad Kelly and Johnny Manziel as a cost-free insurance strategy.
