Anonymous Agent Reveals Browns Secret Plan for Shedeur Sanders
One NFL agent thinks Shedeur Sanders' time as the Cleveland Browns starter is coming sooner rather than later.
NFL writer Ben Standig recently interviewed 24 agents under the condition of anonymity to discuss the Cleveland Browns' decision to start Deshaun Watson over rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders. One agent expressed confidence that the team will ultimately select Sanders as their starting quarterback. The agent explained that while the public outcry against the choice may seem overwhelming, it's actually a calculated move to manipulate front offices and public sentiment.
According to the agent, the Browns are essentially using Watson to create controversy, which can then be resolved by replacing him with Sanders. Watson will start the first two games on the road where he'll face less fan criticism, making it easier for the home crowd to accept Sanders if he performs well. Conversely, if Watson struggles, the fans will have an easier time embracing Sanders.
The agent emphasized that benching Sanders for Watson, given Watson's baggage, would provoke an overwhelming negative response from fans and media. Head coach Todd Monken acknowledged that he's been criticized for his decision but maintains that his priority is what's best for the team.
