Shedeur Sanders Sends Message Ahead of Browns Decision

There is not much information available on Watson at this time. On the day at Pittsburgh, he took eight sacks and was hit 13 times in total. If he was concussed while subject to that, he and Cleveland may have a problem on their hands.

The Browns will now have a decision to make for who the starting QB will be against the Saints. On Wednesday, Sanders told Mary Kay Cabot of The Plain Dealer that he is grateful and excited for the opportunity that Cleveland has given him. This seemingly indicates he will start.

A starter for the New Orleans game likely will not be formally announced for some time, but if Sanders starts it certainly will not be his first in the NFL. During 2025, he started seven games and came in relief to an eighth.

It was apparent that the fifth-round draft choice was a project. He completed 56.6% of his passes for 1,400 yards, seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He took 23 sacks and had a passer rating of 68.1.

The hope is that with a more complete roster and offensive line he could be a capable starter. Sunday would be a good opportunity against the Saints, as their defense ranks 29th in points per game allowed and 28th in yards allowed.
