Breaking: Browns Make Big Decision On Shedeur Sanders After Multiple Run Ins With Police

The Cleveland Browns took a shot on Shedeur Sanders in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. No matter what happens with his career, many feel like Cleveland got a steal. A potential first round talent falling to the fifth round doesn’t happen very often.

 

Breaking: Brown Make Big Decision On Shedeur Sanders After Multiple Run Ins With Police

Cowherd is “done” with Shedeur Sanders after the rookie quarterback’s two speeding incidents in Ohio this month. What about the Cleveland Browns:

 

The Fox Sports 1 host said on his Thursday, June 19 show that he is officially done with the 23-year-old rookie quarterback.

“Shedeur Sanders got caught speeding over 100 MPH. Don’t minimize it, don’t pander. This is not good for a quarterback,” he said on his “The Herd” show on Thursday afternoon, June 19.

 

“I do not cling to opinions. New information, new opinion. I don’t think about him the same. When you fall to (pick) 144 in the draft, and then you try to match that number behind the wheel of a car, I don’t think the same.

“You ignored signs about Manziel and Baker. And, apparently, based on the traffic violation, Shedeur was avoiding some signs, too – that say stop. I’m not sure he’s mature enough. Now I’m going to have to like Kenny Pickett.”

 

But while Cowherd has said he’s done with Sanders, are the Cleveland Browns done, too?

The Browns are standing by Sanders – for now.

A spokesman for the Cleveland Browns told cleveland.com that Sanders is handling his speeding tickets, while remaining a member of the franchise.

“He is taking care of the tickets,” team spokesman Peter John-Baptiste told the media outlet.

Sanders, who slipped into the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft – he was the second quarterback taken by the Browns, who selected Dillon Gabriel out of Oregon – is still facing an uphill battle to make the roster.

The Browns have Gabriel, Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett also at the quarterback position. Flacco and Pickett feel like locks to make the Week 1 roster. So, it could be Gabriel and Sanders fighting it out for the QB3 spot.

 

 

Cleveland could decide to keep four quarterbacks, which is apparently a possibility, according to team insider Mary Kay Cabot, but that would be a rarity for an NFL team.

“Thanks in part to low base salaries and cap numbers for all of them, they can afford to keep all four from a financial standpoint, and it also makes sense from a roster building standpoint,” Cabot wrote.

Sanders has work to do off the field, though. He must pay a $250 fine for the fourth-degree misdemeanor or fight the ticket in Strongsville Mayor’s Court on July 3, following his latest speeding incident.

The Browns are coming off a highly disappointing 3-14 season in 2024.
