The Cleveland Browns are experiencing instability at the quarterback position. Following a game against the Buffalo Bills, Shedeur Sanders emerged as a starter, recording 74 yards and one touchdown, while Deshaun Watson struggled in relief, completing five of 12 attempts and throwing an interception.

As the season approaches, speculation regarding Sanders’ future with the team has increased. This follows reports of significant discounts on Sanders’ merchandise at major retailers and team stores, with jersey prices marked down from approximately $150 to $40. While some observers suggest this clearance could signal an impending trade, there is no verified link between the retail activity and official roster changes. Sanders currently remains on the 53-man roster as the backup to Watson.
