Shedeur Sanders has signed his rookie contract with the Cleveland Browns, marking one of his first steps in the NFL while remaining a magnet for attention. The millions he secured-far less than his NIL earnings from college football-were bound to stir reactions from fans.

Shedeur Sanders Got Fans Buzzing with His Contract Signing with the Cleveland Browns
The Colorado Buffaloes product inked a four-year, $4.6 million rookie deal, following a dramatic 2025 NFL Draft where he went from a projected first-round quarterback to being selected in the fifth round at pick 144.
Sanders secured a $447,380 signing bonus, prompting a wave of fan reactions on social media.
Buffalo Bills Poised for Success with Favorable Schedule and High Win Expectations
Most comments were positive, with one Browns fan championing Sanders and his chance to silence doubters.
“He’s gonna prove everyone wrong,” one fan wrote. Another added, “Wow, this is what you call value. Shedeur will lead the Browns to a Super Bowl in the next 4 years.”
However, as the internet often goes, not everyone was thrilled about the QB‘s signing as he vies for the starting role with the team.
“$4.6M more than he’s worth tbh,” one user posted. Others called Sanders “overpaid, tbh” or labeled his contract a “MASSIVE overpay.”
Another comment offered a brighter outlook, suggesting endorsements would outweigh the contract’s value. “If he succeeds and does well, the endorsements he’ll get will more than make up for the low contract $$$. Dude will get paid.”
It’s clear that Shedeur Sanders is a player to watch in the upcoming NFL season, but the true value lies not in his contract but in his opportunity to prove his critics wrong about his potential.
Everything hinges on him and whether the Cleveland Browns give him a chance to showcase his worth.

Pacers vs. Knicks live updates: 2025 NBA playoffs Game 1 start time, picks and predictions
New York was tested in the first round of the playoffs by a young, physical Detroit Pistons team that pushed them to six games. Ultimately, Jalen Brunson was the difference in the series, dominating clutch time, including a game-winning 3 in Game 6 to send the Knicks to the second round. This battle prepared New York for a matchup with the defending champion Boston Celtics in the second round, a series that few expected the Knicks to even compete in. Instead, Brunson and company pulled off the upset in six games, including completing 20-point comebacks in the second halves of both Games 1 and 2. The series ended with a blowout at Madison Square Garden as the Knicks clinched a playoff series at home and advanced to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in 25 years.
