Cleveland Retains Quarterback Depth
Browns Refuse Trade Inquiries for Backup Quarterbacks Despite League-Wide Injuries
Anonymous
The Cleveland Browns say they have no plans to trade backup quarterbacks Shedeur Sanders or Dillon Gabriel before the Nov. 10 deadline, despite injuries creating demand for quarterbacks around the NFL. New York’s Jaxson Dart is out for the season, while Washington’s Jayden Daniels and Chicago’s Caleb Williams are also injured. Cleveland views its quarterback depth as important given Deshaun Watson’s injury history and the team’s recent reliance on multiple starters. Sanders could be needed if Watson is unavailable or struggles; Gabriel is on injured reserve with a back injury, and the Browns also plan to retain rookie Taylen Green.
Key Points

Sanders appeared in eight games as a rookie and made seven starts, throwing for 1,400 yards, seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

3
The Browns received no trade offers for Gabriel before cutting their roster to 53 players on Aug. 30; he impressed in the preseason finale against the Patriots.
