The Cleveland Browns are still looking for their next head coach, and Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Udinski was the latest candidate to remove his name from consideration.

The Browns fired Kevin Stefanski, who quickly was hired by the Atlanta Falcons. For now, plenty of questions are swirling about the future of the franchise in Cleveland.

While the Browns have quarterbacks Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel and Deshaun Watson under contract going into 2026, it remains to be seen who the starter will be.

Sanders finished the year as the starter, throwing for 1,400 yards with seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions, although he had three games with multiple interceptions.

Nonetheless, Sanders received news Monday that he was added to the Pro Bowl roster as a replacement.

When the Pro Bowl Games rosters were announced in January, Josh Allen, Justin Herbert and Drake Maye were named the three quarterbacks for the AFC.

But now, Sanders is named a replacement, although it remains to be seen whose spot he will be taking; it is likely Maye's spot as the New England Patriots are going to be playing in the Super Bowl.

Sanders was selected in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and he became the first fifth-round rookie to make the Pro Bowl. He is also the first Browns QB to make the Pro Bowl since Derek Anderson in 2008, as Jordan Schultz mentioned.

This year's Pro Bowl Games will take place on Feb. 3 at 8:00 pm ET, with the flag football game being broadcast on ESPN.
