  "account": "The Cleveland Browns are rumored to be in the midst of a quarterback search, with the long-term future of their franchise QB Deshaun Watson in question. Second-year QB Shedeur Sanders appears to be the more likely replacement for Watson as the starter in 2026. Sanders recently hired an agent for the first time in the NFL, leading to rumors about his future. After a disappointing rookie season and being outcompeted by Watson this year, Sanders may be looking for a fresh start or preparing for potential changes in the NFL. Browns GM Andrew Berry, who took a chance on Sanders 18 months ago, is said to have a great affection for the young QB. Despite Sanders having a poor rookie season, he showed improvement in the preseason and training camp. Jones, a source from The Athletic, believes there is still belief in Sanders' ability and notes that he is on a fifth-round rookie contract for another two-plus years. With the Browns' current starting QB without a contract beyond this season and a history of injuries, the idea of the Browns trading Sanders by the deadline is considered a \"stunner.\" However, the possibility of Sanders seeking a trade cannot be ruled out, leaving speculation as to whether the Browns would turn down a reasonable trade offer for their young quarterback.",
