Browns consider trading Pro Bowl QB Shedeur Sanders after one season
Summary

The Cleveland Browns are exploring the possibility of trading 24-year-old Pro Bowl quarterback Shedeur Sanders after a season where he competed for the starting role against Deshaun Watson. Sanders, who finished his first NFL season with 1,400 passing yards and a 56.6% completion rate, was expected to be a significant part of the team's future. However, reports indicate that if he does not secure the starting position, the Browns might seek a trade, especially given their recent shift towards a longer-term roster strategy following the trade of Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams. The situation remains fluid as training camps approach and performance evaluations continue.
