1<\/p>\n Shedeur Sanders could be cut by the Cleveland BrownsCredit: AP<\/p>\n Roster limits will likely mean cuts have to be made however, with Sanders at risk.<\/p>\n The former Colorado Buffaloes star was a fifth-round pick for the Browns in the NFL<\/a> Draft – behind fellow QB Dillon Gabriel.<\/p>\n That means he has started training camp as the Brown’s No4 quarter-back, with Joe Flacco<\/a> and Kenny Pickett also ahead of him.<\/p>\n According to ESPN reporter Daniel Oyefusi, there is now some doubt over whether Sanders will be included in the Browns’ roster.<\/p>\n Oyefusi said: “Getting drafted behind Gabriel adds an element of uncertainty to Sanders’ rookie season.<\/p>\n “While he was widely ranked ahead of the third-rounder before the draft, Sanders will likely begin training camp as the fourth QB on the depth chart and won’t be guaranteed a roster spot.<\/p>\n “Cleveland did trade up to draft him, which should afford him more time to develop, but Sanders likely has a longer pathway to the field unless he completely outplays his competition.”<\/p>\n The Browns plan to have former first-round pick Pickett and the third-round pick Oregon Ducks product Gabriel splitting the first and second team reps during OTAs, per Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot<\/a>.<\/p>\n And the report added that Pickett is the current favorite to the lead the team’s offense in Week 1 ahead of OTAs and mandatory minicamp and that “it is his job to “lose.”<\/p>\n “It’s a tough call before we’ve even seen the first practice of organized team activities, but I know Kenny Pickett heads in as the frontrunner to win the starting job at the outset,” Cabot wrote.<\/p>\n Shedeur Sanders Surges Ahead in Cleveland Browns QB Battle<\/p>\n She also reported that Sanders and Flacco will split the third and fourth team reps.<\/p>\n Sanders addressed the quarterback competition with Dillon Gabriel after the Draft.<\/p>\n Sanders<\/a>\u00a0insists he is not frustrated or concerned with the overpopulated QB dressing room.<\/p>\n And the Texas<\/a> native is particularly happy to work with\u00a0Gabriel<\/a>, whom he admires greatly.<\/p>\n Sanders told Sports Casting: “Everything\u2019s been cool.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s a cool person. I like how he handles situations, especially just the negative media that\u2019s coming his way.<\/p>\n “I\u2019m just happy he\u2019s positive, he\u2019s able to handle everything. We\u2019re truly cool.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SHEDEUR SANDERS could be cut by the Cleveland Browns before the start of the NFL season, according to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":87599,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2054],"tags":[86,85,54,2337,7,6,578,17],"class_list":{"0":"post-87598","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cleveland-browns","8":"tag-browns","9":"tag-cleveland","10":"tag-cleveland-browns","11":"tag-clevelandbrowns","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-nfl","14":"tag-section-sportamerican-football","15":"tag-shedeur-sanders"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114590374120500177","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87598","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=87598"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87598\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/87599"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87598"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=87598"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=87598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Shedeur](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/b9344386-b528-4cf8-85d0-3437646a40ca.jpg\")
