Skip Bayless Throws Massive Shade at Browns for Failing QB Shedeur Sanders

Skip Bayless said it was "nauseating" to watch how the Cleveland Browns dealt with Shedeur Sanders since the 2025 draft.

On Sunday, the Cleveland Browns opted not to make any cuts at the quarterback position as they reduced their roster to 53 players. It has been announced that Deshaun Watson will commence the upcoming Week 1 match against the Jacksonville Jaguars, with Shedeur Sanders and rookie quarterback Taylen Green set to alternate reps on the scout team.

Should Watson encounter any challenges, Sanders could potentially secure the starting role this season. Sports analyst Skip Bayless expressed his discontent with the Browns' choices via an X post, accusing head coach Todd Monken of not appreciating Sanders and effectively imprisoning him within Cleveland. Bayless opined, "Shedeur is like imprisoned in Cleveland."

Bayless expressed his wish for the Browns to cut Sanders, stating he believes there is another team willing to give him a chance. He also criticized Monken for insinuating that he had criticized Sanders during a press conference, praising Green for being able to maneuver the offense and fulfilling the Browns' objectives. Bayless deemed the situation "sad", "nauseating", and "disgusting", emphasizing that he genuinely likes Sanders and believes there is a team out there that appreciates him.
