Browns open to trading Shedeur Sanders or Dillon Gabriel at right price

Summary

The Cleveland Browns, currently 3-1 with Deshaun Watson as starting quarterback, may consider trading backup quarterbacks Shedeur Sanders or Dillon Gabriel. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler noted the Browns have the flexibility to explore offers for their backups, given Watson's strong performance. The NFL trade deadline is set for November 10, allowing time for the Browns to assess their roster and trade potential while keeping four quarterbacks seems inefficient. Gabriel is eligible to return from injured reserve, complicating their decision regarding the quarterback depth chart.
