The Cleveland Browns are officially keeping Shedeur Sanders, with an insider report confirming he is not on the trading block this season. This news drops just as the NFL trade deadline looms on November 10, and it means the Browns are rolling with a seriously crowded quarterback room.
Four Quarterbacks and One Big Decision
Talk about having options, right? The Browns stirred up a ton of questions about Sanders’ future when they activated Dillon Gabriel off injured reserve this week. Now, they’ve got their starter Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders as QB2, newly activated Dillon Gabriel, and rookie Taylen Green all on the roster. That’s a whole lot of signal-callers, and it definitely had everyone wondering if someone was getting moved.
The Inside Scoop: Sanders Is Sticking Around
Well, wonder no more, because a Browns insider spilled the beans. Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer confirmed that both Sanders and Gabriel are staying put through the trade deadline. Sanders is still locked in as the team’s QB2 for their upcoming Week 8 showdown, even with Gabriel back in action. To make space for Gabriel, the Browns waived seventh-round tight end Carsen Ryan, with hopes of re-signing him to the practice squad if he clears waivers. It sounds like Cleveland always wanted to keep all four quarterbacks, and they found a way to make it happen. If they absolutely had to move someone, their plan was to try and get Green through waivers onto the practice squad, but that was apparently a risky move they’ve avoided.
AFC North Showdown Ahead
So, Sanders isn’t going anywhere, at least for now. This decision sets the stage for a massive game for the Browns this weekend. They’re facing off against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and this one is huge. Both teams are sitting pretty at the top of the AFC North with identical 5-2 records. It’s a divisional battle that’s going to have some real heat, and the Browns are heading into it with their full, wild quarterback squad ready to roll.
