Shedeur Sanders trade: What Browns GM Andrew Berry is rumored to think about the QB

The Cleveland Browns’ quarterback situation remains in flux as general manager Andrew Berry faces pressure to address the franchise’s long-term needs at the position. With Deshaun Watson’s future uncertain beyond this season—including his contract status and injury history—the team is eyeing Shedeur Sanders as a potential long-term starter, though his path to that role is now complicated by his recent decision to hire an agent.

Sanders, who struggled as a rookie and lost the 2024 quarterback competition to Watson, could be seeking a trade to avoid Cleveland’s instability, especially after a poor start to his career. However, Berry’s reported fondness for Sanders, whom he drafted in the fifth round just 18 months ago, suggests he may resist parting ways with the young quarterback.

Sanders’ fifth-round contract runs for another two-plus years, and while his 2023 performance ranked among the worst among qualified starting quarterbacks, preseason progress has reignited optimism about his development. A trade for Sanders by the deadline would be surprising given Berry’s investment in his potential, though nothing is guaranteed as the Browns weigh their options.
