Former Browns coach downplays Shedeur Sanders’ speeding citations as QB battle extends to training camp

A pair of speeding citations for Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders should not impact his spot on the roster or alter the four-player competition at the position, according to former coach Eric Mangini. During his time in Cleveland, Mangini dealt with off-the-field issues involving several players — including Josh Gordon and Shaun Rogers — but the situation involving the rookie signal-caller is different, he says.

“This is, in fairness to Shedeur, the first time he’s been outside his dad’s overview, his dad’s house,” Mangini told Colin Cowherd. “I think he was his high school, then his college coach … This is like any kid who’s away from home for the first time. There’s gonna be a couple hiccups here and there.”

Sanders impressed during OTAs and has received rave reviews from coach Kevin Stefanski this summer. He’s battling Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and fellow draft pick Dillon Gabriel for reps during training camp next month before final roster decisions are made.

And while the speeding citations are not advantageous to his cause, there’s no reason to be concerned, Mangini says.

“I don’t love it from a fifth-round draft pick. I don’t love that it’s happened multiple times. I do think this is the first time he’s away from his dad and there’s going to be some growing pains,” Mangini said. “Would I sell my stock on it like you are? No, because of a couple speeding tickets, especially in the light of the problems the Browns quarterback room had had to deal with legally in the last few years. This is nothing.”

According to Cleveland.com, the franchise has already had internal discussions with Sanders.

“I’ve made some wrong choices personally, I can own up to them,” Sanders said in a video posted to social media at a softball game this week. “I made some not great choices. I learn from them. I learned.”

Mangini went 10-22 over two seasons with the Browns from 2009-2010 before he was fired and later landed an offensive analyst job in San Francisco. He worked his way back up to tight ends coach and eventually the role of defensive coordinator for the 49ers in 2015 before he was replaced along with most of the coaching staff following the exit of Jim Tomsula as coach.

The widespread belief around the NFL is that Cleveland will not keep all four quarterbacks on its roster in 2025.

NFL insider Jeremy Fowler touched on the Browns’ overload under center last month during OTAs and the next potential steps the franchise will take before the 53-man roster is decided.

“I still think they look at quarterback pieces like currency and value, so if somebody goes down to an injury in training camp they have somebody they can potentially trade,” Fowler said on ESPN Cleveland radio. “Maybe it’s Pickett, maybe it’s one of the rookies. But I can see that sort of maneuvering. I have a hard time thinking they keep (four) on the roster. I think it might be three. And then you can try a practice squad player or seek a trade.”

The 40-year-old Flacco was signed on a one-year, incentives-enhanced deal, while Pickett was the first quarterback acquisition this offseason for the Browns after Cleveland completed a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Both were immediate insurance polices for Deshaun Watson given his injury status and likelihood he’ll miss the upcoming season.

Juan Soto makes history with two home runs to help Mets snap seven-game losing streak

Getty Images The Mets grabbed a much-needed win in Philadelphia Saturday night, 11-4, snapping their seven-game losing streak and again tying the Phillies atop the NL East. Brandon Nimmo homered twice for the Mets while Francisco Lindor and Francisco Alvarez added home runs of their own, but the headline here on an individual basis belongs to Juan Soto. He went 4 for 5 and homered twice with the second one being an upper-tank beauty to provide the Mets with some breathing room.Soto now has 16 homers and 39 RBI this season. He's hitting .256/.393/.484 on the season. This was actually his third two-homer game in 2025 and that runs his tally to 26 in his career. This ties Hall of Famer Jimmie Foxx for the most ever by a player before turning 27 years old, according to MLB.com. Soto turns 27 on Oct. […]
