Shedeur Sanders trade rumors (Getty Images)
ESPN Cleveland’s Tony Grossi believes Cleveland may struggle to find a team willing to offer even that much for the 2025 fifth-round selection. With the Browns looking ahead to the 2027 NFL Draft, his place in Cleveland could become increasingly difficult to justify. Deshaun Watson briefly left the 27-6 defeat for a concussion evaluation after taking a high hit from safety Jaquan Brisker. 26, choosing to waive rookie tight end Carsen Ryan instead.
In seven seasons as Browns GM, Berry has traded Joe Flacco (and a sixth-round pick) for a fifth; Kenny Pickett for a fifth; Dorian Thompson-Robinson as a throw-in in acquiring Pickett; and Josh Dobbs (and a seventh) for a fifth,” Grossi said. The Cleveland Browns could be willing to trade Shedeur Sanders for less than a fifth-round pick as general manager Andrew Berry considers trimming his crowded quarterback room. Sanders has also had little playing time this season, leaving potential suitors with limited recent evidence of his development. “Any Berry trade analysis would be remiss without discussing the quarterback position. Sanders completed both passes for just two yards before Harold Fannin Jr. fumbled following a short reception. Watson then returned to the game. “But again, the backup doesn’t get any reps during the week. I mean, he gets some of the look squad. I think he’s always composed. I think he did fine. We certainly had an opportunity maybe on the third-and-extra-long, and he had to escape a little bit, but he was fine. Cleveland has also shown little urgency to remove Sanders from its roster. The Browns activated Dillon Gabriel from injured reserve on Oct. Gabriel joined Watson, Sanders and rookie Taylen Green, giving the team four quarterbacks.
Two of those attempts came against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
