Are the Browns trading Shedeur Sanders? Cleveland media thinks so
After his performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it looks like Cleveland media feel as Deshaun Watson will remain the starter for the rest of the season. While Watson did play well, it was still one of his only good games in his 4 years with the team and some fans aren't convinced.
Speaking on ESPN Cleveland, Cleveland media personality Tony Rizzo felt that the Browns could trade Shedeur Sanders before the trade deadline and name Dillon Gabriel as QB2 for the rest of the season:
"I think the Browns deal Shedeur before the deadline, and I think Gabriel is your backup and Taylen Green is your third. I think Deshaun can start a dozen games."
Deshaun Watson's message to Browns fans
Deshaun Watson spoke to the media ahead of the Browns' first home game this Sunday. Watson sent a message to the fans saying that he didn't want to be at odds with fans and was focused on bringing another win. Watson said:
"I feel like I have a lot of football left in my game, in my career... I don't want to be at war with Browns fans."
The Cleveland Browns play their first home game of the season this Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.
