Shedeur Sanders’ future in Cleveland already in question?

Rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders can’t seem to keep his name out the headlines. First it was his slide in the draft all the way to the fifth round. Then it was the speeding ticket.

The Cleveland Browns, after passing him up for four rounds in the 2025 NFL Draft and choosing quarterback Dillon Gabriel over him, finally selected Sanders 144th overall.

Will Sanders make it past the regular season in Cleveland?

Sanders enters a crowded and unusual four-man quarterback competition alongside Gabriel as well as veterans Kenny Pickett, and Joe Flacco. As training camp nears, speculation is growing that Sanders could be traded even before the season ends.

And one team stands out as a potential destination: the Los Angeles Rams.

With Matthew Stafford aging and no clear long-term successor, the Rams have been floated as a “best trade fit” for Sanders. His quick release and timing-based game are seen as a natural fit in Sean McVay’s offense, and he could learn behind Stafford without pressure to start immediately.

However, Browns GM Andrew Berry is reportedly open to keeping all four quarterbacks if they prove themselves in camp. Sanders has a history of sparking turnaround efforts, having helped lead Colorado from 1-11 to a nine-win season under his father, Deion Sanders. His future remains uncertain, but one strong preseason could reshape the narrative.
