Could the free-fall drop of Shadeur Sanders be the footballs gods finally blessing the Cleveland Browns. I know it sounds far-fetched, but is it? imagine this: Sanders winning the starting job by week 9 and plays efficeintly for the remaining eight games. That would give the Browns 3+ season of their starting QB on a 5th-round rookie contract (less than $1.5 milion per).
Add to that the insurance cap relief in 2026 for Watson and the final year of Watson's contract, itself. It would give the browns some relief of the 90+ million Watson cap hit that is coming due. This would also free up the Browns to use their two first rounders on playmakers, rather than another qb in '26, sign some needed FA help and start to replenish their roster with good, young talent.
It's true the Watson trade set the Browns back 5 years but if things play out just right...... The gods are throwing the Browns a bone, but will they pick it up? Or will the Browns be the Browns?

Who knows?
The Cowboys were in a tight spot when their franchise QB (Tony Romo) was lost in the preseason. Their 4th rounder, Dak Prescott, came in and took the job from there on.
I suppose it could happen here ...... but who knows?

I think they could possibly be very fortunate with Sanders if something like that was to happen. I think he has a better shot that Gabriel, but I still worry Sanders is too small also. If Sanders was to hit and Dawand Jones shows he is the future left tackle the two 1st round picks next year could be used to really move the needle on the team. Those are both big? so, I am not holding my breath but will be rooting for something like this to happen.
