Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders apparently didn’t even get a single sniff from other teams leading up to Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline, a wild revelation dropped by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. You’d think a quarterback, any quarterback, would generate some buzz, but nope.
The Crickets From Cleveland
Fowler, on Thursday’s appearance on ESPN Cleveland, laid it out plain and simple. He checked around while working the deadline, and his understanding was that the Browns hadn’t received any calls inquiring about Sanders. “My understanding is no. Maybe they got a late call, but last I checked as I was working the trade deadline on Tuesday, I was told there was nothing there,” Fowler stated. No calls. Zero. For a starting-caliber quarterback in the NFL. That’s a stunner.
A Deadline Full of QB Moves, Just Not For Him
This radio silence around Sanders is even more glaring when you look at what *did* happen across the league. Other quarterbacks were definitely on the move before the deadline. The Minnesota Vikings went out and grabbed Kirk Cousins from the Las Vegas Raiders. Meanwhile, the Baltimore Ravens made a play, bringing in Jacoby Brissett from the Arizona Cardinals. It clearly wasn’t a quiet deadline for signal callers, just for Sanders and the Browns.
With the trade deadline now firmly in the rearview mirror, the lack of interest in Sanders speaks volumes. It’s a cold hard look at where the league sees him right now. For Cleveland, it means they’re rolling with what they’ve got, knowing full well the market wasn’t there for a change at quarterback.
