‘Anything Can Happen’ — NFL Analyst Weighs In on Chances of Browns Trading Shedeur Sanders Amid Speculations
Shedeur Sanders has several reasons to consider a fresh start outside the Cleveland Browns. He has yet to start a game this season, and with Deshaun Watson playing well enough to remain the starter for now, Sanders’ path to playing time remains unclear.
Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who has yet to start a game this season, is attracting trade speculation due to his recent decision to hire an agent. However, an NFL insider, Jonathan Jones, believes the rumors may be premature. Jones points to Browns General Manager Andrew Berry's investment in Sanders and his belief in the young quarterback as reasons why Cleveland may be hesitant to trade him.
Furthermore, Sanders' decision to hire an agent could be about future planning, not necessarily a desire to leave Cleveland. The Browns selected Sanders in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, which makes him an affordable backup with two more seasons of team control remaining after 2026. Sanders' contract also makes him an attractive option for teams seeking to address their quarterback situation.
Despite ongoing trade rumors involving multiple teams, the possibility of the Browns trading Sanders by the deadline remains unlikely, according to Jones.
