Sanders' Browns Future: Unclear Despite Starting Role
24 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Shedeur Sanders is the Browns' starting QB for the rest of 2025.
- Sanders has won only one game since taking over in Week 11.
- Deshaun Watson's return could impact Sanders' long-term prospects.
Shedeur Sanders has been named the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns for the rest of the 2025 season. However, his future with the team beyond this year is not guaranteed, despite his recent promotion. Sanders made his NFL debut in Week 11 and has started every game since then.
In his six starts this season, Sanders has thrown for 1,103 yards and six touchdowns, adding 123 rushing yards and a touchdown. While he has shown flashes of potential, the Browns have only secured one victory under his leadership. This limited success has fueled ongoing speculation about his long-term prospects with the team.
Adding to the uncertainty is the potential return of Deshaun Watson. Insider reports suggest that if the Browns opt to let Watson start some games, it could provide Sanders with an opportunity to learn and develop further. This situation leaves Sanders' role in the organization beyond 2025 very much in question.
