Michael Jordan’s former teammate, Ron Harper, disagreed with ESPN analyst Tony Grossi's opinion of Shedeur Sanders’ situation with the Cleveland Browns. On Sunday, Grossi, who covers the Browns, said the team should cut the rookie and sign him to the practice squad.

This did not go down well with Harper.

β€œCut him and he’s not signing back!!!! Clowns,” he tweeted.

Cleveland’s quarterback situation loomed large heading into training camp. The Browns acquired Kenny Pickett in March before reuniting with Joe Flacco a month later. To add options and competition, they picked Dillon Gabriel in the third round of the NFL draft and grabbed Shedeur Sanders two rounds later. Tyler Huntley joined the crowded room early this month.

The Browns eventually released Huntley before reportedly trading Pickett on Monday to the Las Vegas Raiders for a 2026 first-round pick.

Flacco was named the starter for their Week 1 clash, with Gabriel and Sanders backing up the 2023 NFL Comeback Player of the Year.


Shedeur Sanders struggled in his last preseason game

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski gave his quarterbacks the opportunity to show their stuff on Saturday against the LA Rams. Joe Flacco delivered an efficient performance, completing 9 of 10 passes, including a touchdown. Dillon Gabriel, who started, went 12 for 19 for 129 yards.

Shedeur Sanders opened the second half and struggled, making 3 of 6 passes for only 14 yards. He was sacked five times and managed just one first down during his stint. Stefanski eventually replaced him with Tyler Huntley on the game-winning drive.

Sanders has been dealing with an oblique injury, which is the reason he sat out Cleveland’s 22-13 win over the Philadelphia Eagles over a week ago. He needs to get healthy and find his rhythm to challenge Gabriel for the right to play behind Flacco.
