It seems likely that at some point during the season, Shedeur Sanders will lead the Cleveland Browns’ offense – but at the start of the season, he reportedly has “almost zero chance” of becoming the team’s starting quarterback.

After the Browns opened the second day of their OTAs to the media, many reporters have written about Shedeur Sanders – and many agree that he has shown great potential. “When you watch him on the practice field, he’s a very gifted thrower,” said Zac Jackson of The Athletic. He later added, “Accuracy, timing, things like that. If he can put it all together, then I really believe he has a chance. But I don’t think we should jump to conclusions.”

But the big question – when can Sanders start? – has not been answered, and it may only be answered by Cleveland’s head coach, Kevin Stefanski.

Expect Aaron Rodgers to be a Pittsburgh STEELER ?

The Browns may opt for a safer route at the start of the upcoming NFL season, assigning the QB1 job to 17-year NFL veteran Joe Flacco or Kenny Pickett, while leaving both rookies – Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders – on the bench.

Zac Jackson spoke about the chances of the rookies earning the Browns’ starting quarterback role:

“He has almost zero chance to win the job in September. And that’s what we’re talking about right now. He’s going to get the fewest reps and start last in line. Neither of the rookies have any chance to win this job,” Jackson said. “This is Joe Flacco’s or Kenny Pickett’s job, barring something. Now, this is the Cleveland Browns – so anything is in play.”

“It is a four-way quarterback competition, but there is a smaller than 4% chance that either rookie could realistically be the starter in September when they play the Bengals,” he concluded.

Where to watch Cardinals vs. Colts: TV channel, live stream, prediction, pick, odds, spread

If the season ended today, the Indianapolis Colts would be the No. 1 seed in the playoffs and get the AFC's lone bye week. If someone would have made such a statement in the middle of the summer, a person hearing such a comment would have been within their right to assume that the heat had gotten the better of the person's voicing such a thought.But the reality is that the 4-1 Indianapolis Colts are a team to watch in the fall of 2025. They are coming off a dominant 40-6 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Their only loss this season came from the Los Angeles Rams, who defeated them 27-20 in Week 4. Aside from that one hiccup, everything has been going Indy's way.The same can not be said of the 2-3 Arizona Cardinals who are mired in a three-game losing […]

Eis os jogadores mais valiosos da Liga Portuguesa que não pertencem aos três ‘grandes’

SC Braga em maioria  ©TM/IMAGO A mais recente atualização dos valores de mercado dos jogadores da Liga Portugal Betclic trouxe diversas alterações às cotações dos jogadores, é certo, mas há coisas que não mudam. E uma delas é o facto de o SC Braga ter, e por larga margem, os futebolistas mais valiosos do campeonato luso fora da 'esfera' dos chamados três 'grandes'. Algo que não surpreende, uma vez que o plantel minhoto é o quarto melhor cotado do primeiro escalão do futebol português - atrás apenas, precisamente, dos de Sporting, FC Porto e Benfica - e com uma diferença considerável para o quinto mais valioso: a equipa arsenalista vale, ao dia de hoje, 135 milhões de euros, contra os 62,3 milhões de euros do Famalicão.Dito isto, o jogador mais valioso da Liga Portuguesa entre aqueles que não atuam nos […]
