Shedeur Sanders Downplays Rumor He Might Not Make The Cleveland Browns Roster: “Everything Is Real Good”

You know what they say about NFL teams that have five quarterbacks? They don’t have one.

In case you were living under a rock during the 2025 NFL Draft, Shedeur Sanders was FINALLY drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round with the 144th pick. Following the end of the college football season, Sanders was a lock by many draft analysts to not only be a first round pick… but a top 10 pick.

Only time will tell if the Cleveland Browns – who don’t have the best track record when it comes to drafting quarterbacks and having them become successful – have success with the dual threat quarterback. Maybe Shedeur Sanders can buck that trend though… especially with how fired up he’ll be to prove himself after the unprecedented slide. I’m sure at one point, he was just happy to have his named called at the draft.

But now, the former college superstar (he led the Colorado Buffaloes to a dazzling 13-12 record in two seasons) finds himself fighting for a roster spot. That’s mainly because the quarterback room in Cleveland is incredibly crowded, to say the least. Here’s who the Browns currently have on their roster:

-Veteran Joe Flacco

-An injured (massage enthusiast) Deshaun Watson

-A small-handed Kenny Pickett

-Rookie Dillon Gabriel out of Oregon (drafted before Sanders)

-Rookie Shedeur Sanders

Do the Cleveland Browns know that they can only play one quarterback at a time?

ESPN’s Daniel Oyefusi had this to say about Sanders’ chances of seeing the field, especially with the added factor of Gabriel being drafted by the team two rounds ahead of him:

“Getting drafted behind Gabriel adds an element of uncertainty to Sanders’ rookie season. While he was widely ranked ahead of the third-rounder before the draft, Sanders will likely begin training camp as the fourth QB on the depth chart and won’t be guaranteed a roster spot. Cleveland did trade up to draft him, which should afford him more time to develop, but Sanders likely has a longer pathway to the field unless he completely outplays his competition.”

Realistically, Sanders probably only needs to outshine Flacco, Pickett, and Gabriel. With Watson hurt, and everything else that surrounds the former NFL star, I’d say the Deshaun experiment could be over in Cleveland. His contract could go down as one of the worst not only in NFL history… but in all of sports.

When you start doing the math and factor in NFL teams only being allowed to roster three quarterbacks on their 53-man roster (and most only keeping 2), it makes sense that the rumor of Shedeur potentially not making the team has slowly spread. But despite that speculation, the rookie QB and son of Deion Sanders isn’t too concerned about not being rostered, and says he’s learning a lot from being in the talented (?) quarterback room:

”It’s lit. Quarterback room is fun. Every day is fun going in there. Everything is real good, I’m happy. We got a bunch of different personalities in the quarterback room, and just talking to the quarterbacks that took NFL snaps, that played in the league, you’re living the experience through them also and ask them whatever questions come to mind.”

Shedeur enjoying his time in CLE so far is nice to see Read More
