Shedeur Sanders' backup QB role is in question following Dillon Gabriel's activation to the 53-man roster. While most expected Sanders to remain in his backup role after Gabriel's activation, HC Todd Monken has not committed to a decision. Few believe Sanders has significant trade market value. The final decision between Sanders and Gabriel for the backup position will be determined 90 minutes before Week 8 kickoff when inactive reports are released.

The source expects Shedeur Sanders to eventually take over for Deshaun Watson, who has mostly looked washed-up except for game-winning drives. Todd Monken, who has elevated the Browns offense, should want to see what he has in Sanders. Sanders' better arm strength, talent, and willingness to throw downfield should unlock his receivers and improve the offense further. This is a buy-low opportunity in dynasty leagues before Sanders takes over.

Sanders recently hired an agent, signaling potential roster movement despite appearing unlikely to see the field this season. The source speculates that with the Browns planning a new quarterback room in 2027 and multiple teams weekly entering quarterback need, Sanders' agent may explore trade opportunities, particularly given the Eagles' QB situation and the connection between Browns GM Andrew Berry and Eagles assistant GM Adam Berry.

Sanders seems more likely to replace Deshaun Watson as the Browns starter in 2026 than Watson signing a contract extension; Browns GM Andrew Berry is said to have great affection for Sanders, whom he drafted 18 months ago while the rest of the NFL passed on him multiple times, making it unlikely Berry would trade him away despite Sanders hiring an agent for the first time and potentially seeking a fresh start after a poor rookie season and losing the quarterback competition to Watson.

Second-year QB Shedeur Sanders is viewed as more likely to replace Watson as the starter in 2026 than Watson signing a contract extension; Browns GM Andrew Berry has great affection for Sanders, whom he drafted 18 months ago, making a trade unlikely despite Sanders hiring an agent for the first time; Sanders showed growth in preseason and training camp after a poor rookie season and is on a fifth-round rookie contract for another two-plus years, while Watson is not under contract beyond this season and has a history of injuries.

Worth noting that Marvin Harrison Jr. hired a pair of agents last month to seek and facilitate a trade. I don’t think Shedeur hiring an agent now that he’s stuck behind Deshaun Watson is a coincidence. [Retweeted](

The source notes that Sanders' recent decision to hire an agent—after not hiring one during the draft process—in week 5 of his second season signals potential trade speculation; the timing and agent choice (same as teammate Travis Hunter) could indicate Sanders expects to be traded, wants to be traded, or was informed by the Browns he might be traded, though the source acknowledges this is speculative and could simply reflect a personal decision to hire representation.

Browns QB with intriguing potential as long-term answer, but unlikely to be the franchise future. Dawgs By Nature: "I think Shedeur Sanders has displayed a lot of intriguing elements, to where I see the potential for him to be a long-term answer. However, with the stockpile of draft picks the Browns have in 2027, I don't think Sanders is viewed highly enough to pass on a quarterback in the first round of the draft." Browns expected to draft QB in 2027 despite Sanders' upside.
