Browns Facing Backlash for Shedeur Sanders Decision
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Cleveland Browns quarterback situation became no clearer despite the announcement of Joe Flacco as the team's starting quarterback to begin the season. Along with the announcement, there is a growing belief that Cleveland will keep four quarterbacks for their active roster -- a tell of the lack of confidence they have in their situation under center after Flacco went 2-4 with the Indianapolis Colts last season. The most polarizing quarterback on the roster, Shedeur Sanders, showed he has potential in his lone preseason start. He completed 14 of 23 pass attempts for 138 yards passing and two touchdowns in a win over the Carolina Panthers. Read more: Did Dillon Gabriel Do Better Than Shedeur Sanders in Browns Debut? However, the bottleneck of backup quarterbacks, which includes former first-round pick Kenny Pickett, third-round rookie Dillon Gabriel, Tyler Huntley, and Sanders, has left the former Colorado Buffaloes star with a bleak outlook for his prospects of playing in the league. Sanders is listed as the fourth quarterback on the Browns' unofficial depth chart, leading to a plea from ESPN Cleveland radio host Tony Rizzo for Shedeur to be set free. Shedeur Sanders #12 of the Cleveland Browns looks on during the first half of an NFL Preseason 2025 game against the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium on August 08, 2025 in Charlotte, North...

More Photo by"When they say it's a value pick, the value is what? You're not giving him a chance to start. You're not. They won't even let him play the 1s in practice," Rizzo said on Aug. 19, referring to the selection of Sanders in the fifth round after Gabriel. "Why did they draft him? Why? If I'm that kid, I respectfully go into that office and go, 'You guys, thank you for the opportunity, but can I please go somewhere where I have a chance to play?' " "You're not giving him a chance to start, you're not, they won't even let him play the 1s in the practice," - @TheRealTRizzo on Shedeur in the QB competition. — ESPN Cleveland (@ESPNCleveland) August 19, 2025 Cleveland remains at an impasse with its situation at quarterback since the Deshaun Watson deal -- and their path forward remains unclear. More NFL: Browns' Dillon Gabriel Sends Clear Message on Shedeur Sanders Diss Trotting out Flacco would be a safe move toward finishing in the middle of the pack this season. Meanwhile, starting Sanders or Gabriel would offer more upside or result in a race to the bottom, where they would end the season with a top-five pick to draft a blue-chip quarterback prospect the following year. But for the Browns to realize the value of landing Sanders in the draft, they must play him or trade him. For more on the Cleveland Browns and general NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports.
