Cleveland Browns Drop Bombshell Announcement On Shedeur Sanders
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
Shedeur Sanders will get an extended opportunity to cement himself as the Cleveland Browns’ starting quarterback for 2026.
Sanders had the best performance of his young career on Sunday. He threw for 364 yards and three touchdowns to go along with 29 rushing yards and a rushing score in a 31-29 loss to the Tennessee Titans.
An early holiday gift has come for the Sanders family. More specifically, Shedeur Sanders’ excellent outing on Sunday has ended any potential remaining quarterback controversy in Cleveland.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski announced that Sanders will be the Browns’ starting QB for the rest of the 2025 season.
Cleveland’s remaining four games are: at Chicago Bears, vs. Buffalo Bills, vs. Pittsburgh Steelers and at Cincinnati Bengals. The next three opponents are all fighting for their playoff lives. So, we will see if Sanders and the Browns will embrace the spoiler role.
Shedeur Sanders Left The Browns With An Easy Choice
The Browns might have won on Sunday if Kevin Stefanski didn’t inexplicably remove Shedeur Sanders from the game-tying two-point conversion attempt. Drawing up a disastrous trick play with running back Quinshon Judkins instead was certainly a choice.
But the Browns at least have something to build off of Sunday. Sanders looked like a legitimate starting quarterback against the Titans and has provided a much-needed spark to this offense.
Joe Flacco couldn’t do it before he was traded to the Cincinnati Bengals. And fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel’s production left a lot to be desired. With Sanders behind center, the sluggish Cleveland offense has posted 24-plus points in two of his three starts.
If Sanders can finish the season on a high note, the Browns will likely avoid drafting one of the top quarterback prospects in 2026. Instead, they can use those first-round picks to rebuild the offense around Sanders.
