"Draft Shedeur Sanders" - Browns fans make opinion clear as Deshaun Watson's teammate calls for new QB

Deshaun Watson's teammate, cornerback Denzel Ward, during a candid moment in a TMZ Sports video, openly said that the Cleveland Browns need a new quarterback. Cleveland Sports Media professional Nick Pedone shared the video of Ward on Thursday.

As soon as it went online, fans jumped in to give their suggestions on Watson's replacement.

One endorsed Colorado Buffaloes QB Shedeur Sanders as the next big addition to the Browns' lineup, writing:

"They do. Draft Shedeur!"

Another fan commented:

"He knows Watson cooked with two Achilles years; it's not even a diss, he's just being real."

Meanwhile, a third fan reacted, writing:

"Uh, we had 3 wins. It's much more than a QB problem."

More NFL fans joined in with their opinions.

"Denzel Ward told the truth," one fan commented.

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson’s future is in doubt after he injured his Achilles tendon for the second time four months ago. It makes his playing time in the 2025 season uncertain.

That said, the Browns are getting the second pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. It might help the team get a new QB, as Ward said.

From a financial POV, the Browns still owe Watson $92 million out of his $230 million contract.

As the conversation progressed with the TMZ Sports media, Denzel Ward shared that he’s open to Geno Smith joining the team. Ward said:

“He’s solid. He’s a solid quarterback… but until we actually get him here and get everyone together, I’m rolling with the guys we’ve got.”

Moreover, Ward agreed with Gary Miles’ comment that the Browns aren’t far from being a good team.

“I think we got a good team, but we gotta solidify that quarterback position,” he explained. “That’s the position that can take you far.”

As the Browns work on improving, Ward knows having the right quarterback could be what pushes them toward playoff success.
