Sanders is making only $4.6 million across four years with the BrownsCredit: Getty<\/p>\n

The Browns picked Mason Graham fifth overall in the NFL<\/a> Draft, and his contract is almost 10 times bigger than Sanders<\/a>‘.<\/p>\n

Sanders was expected to be a first-round pick, but slid down to the fifth round.<\/p>\n

Cleveland stopped his slide with the 144th pick in the draft.<\/p>\n

Not only did he drop over 100 picks, but Sanders also lost out on millions of dollars during the slide.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Graham signed a four-year, $40.8 million deal. It is fully guaranteed.<\/p>\n

Sanders’ deal with the Browns is also four years, but is worth just $4.6 million.<\/p>\n

The other quarterback that the Browns drafted before Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, got $6.2 million on his deal.<\/p>\n

Among the quarterbacks drafted in 2025, Sanders will receive one of the lowest values.<\/p>\n

First-overall pick Cam Ward<\/a> signed a four-year, $48.8 million deal with the Tennessee Titans.<\/p>\n

No. 25 overall pick Jaxson Dart<\/a> hasn’t signed yet, but he is projected to get a four-year, $16.9 million deal.<\/p>\n

Shedeur Sanders Surges Ahead in Cleveland Browns QB Battle<\/p>\n

NFL fans were baffled by the amount of money being tossed around in rookie deals, and shared their thoughts on social media.<\/p>\n

“Well deserved!!!” one fan said.<\/p>\n

“10mil a year for a rookie is insane,” another fan said.<\/p>\n

“Shedeur could have some success year one,” a third fan said.<\/p>\n

After the NFL Draft<\/a>, the Browns handed out over $85 million in total contract values to prospects.<\/p>\n

Graham takes up about half of that value alone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SHEDEUR Sanders has missed out on a massive payday after the NFL Draft.
