Cleveland Browns Consider Future of Shedeur Sanders Amid Taylen Green's Rise

Shedeur Sanders, the quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, is once again at the center of trade discussions following head coach Todd Monken's announcement that Deshaun Watson will start in Week 1.

In the upcoming preseason finale against the New England Patriots, Taylen Green, a sixth-round draft pick, and Dillon Gabriel, a third-round pick, are expected to be the only quarterbacks on the field. Browns beat reporter Mary Kay Cabot indicated that the team is unlikely to risk placing Green on waivers, suggesting that his potential could attract interest from other teams.

Green, who stands at 6-foot-6 and recorded a 4.36-second 40-yard dash at the scouting combine, is viewed as a raw talent with significant physical attributes. There are speculations that the Browns may not see a long-term future for Sanders, especially with potential plans to target quarterback Arch Manning in the 2027 NFL Draft. General manager Andrew Berry's history of trading quarterbacks could mean Sanders' time with the team is limited.
