Overview
- GM Andrew Berry praised Sanders’ growth but said the team will evaluate the full quarterback market and would not commit to an internal starter for 2026.
- 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan and GM John Lynch indicated they expect Mac Jones to stay, signaling any trade would be costly and unlikely.
- Cleveland enters the offseason with Shedeur Sanders, Deshaun Watson, and Dillon Gabriel under contract, with Watson’s massive deal limiting roster flexibility.
- The Browns hold picks No. 6 and No. 24, with analysts split between drafting a quarterback and using the capital on help such as OT Spencer Fano and WR Zachariah Branch.
- The head-coach search continues with reported second interviews for Nathan Scheelhaase, Grant Udinski, and Jim Schwartz, and at least one NFL executive doubts Sanders will be the unquestioned QB1.
