Shedeur Sanders\u2019 oblique injury may prove to be more harmful for him than he initially imagined. So much so that it might end up with Sanders traded off to another team in his first year in the NFL. The injury sidelined the Colorado Buffaloes product from the Cleveland Browns<\/a> QB battle that he fought for throughout the offseason.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s worse was the news that Kevin Stefanski\u2019s announcement came with: the Browns may not be keeping all four of their QB<\/a>s. It\u2019s not \u201cpossible nor realistic,\u201d as he puts it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to every position, everything\u2019s up for determination over the next couple days. I think we\u2019ll let it play out as we get closer to the cut down. Those are all conversations that we are always having, but those are tough decisions,\u201d Stefanski added.<\/p>\n

The words that sounded almost like a warning, which might mean a trade is around the corner. With Joe Flacco handling the QB1 position, and Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, and Tyler Huntley falling behind him in the depth chart, a Shedeur Sanders trade might be the Browns’ best bet.<\/a><\/p>\n

New Orleans Saints<\/h3>\n

Although the Saints<\/a> have an intense three-way QB battle underway between rookie Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler, and Jake Haener, the chances of Kellen Moore swinging for a trade are too much to ignore.<\/p>\n

Not only will it add more positional depth, but it will also give the Saints a shot at finding a franchise QB if Rattler and Shough don\u2019t fit in the shoes. All three, Rattler, Shough, and Haener, haven\u2019t been convincing enough to cement themselves as the definite and long-term solution at QB1 after Derek Carr\u2019s retirement.<\/p>\n

Sanders’ performance in his NFL preseason debut should be enough to convince the franchise to give another rookie a try when they already have Shough.<\/p>\n

Las Vegas Raiders<\/h3>\n

The Raiders<\/a> have done their research on QBs when revamping their QB room this offseason, and it is showing. The position looks good with Geno Smith as the undoubted starter, Aidan O\u2019Connell as his backup, and rookie Cam Miller filling up the QB room.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Connell\u2019s inconsistencies, however, have always been a point of concern and have failed to establish him as a reliable option under center. Sanders could be his potential replacement, where he could learn from Smith\u2019s veteran experience.<\/p>\n

Las Vegas Rams<\/h3>\n

The Rams<\/a> currently stand as one of the more desperate teams in need of a good QB trade. Despite having three quarterbacks, their QB room is in limbo.<\/p>\n

Matthew Stafford\u2018s back injury might be recovering positively, but his injury-proneness is something the franchise can\u2019t ignore. Also, his age, being 37, adds another reason the franchise can\u2019t count on him as their long-term solution.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Garoppolo\u2019s contract is expiring soon, and the Rams renewing his contract sounds highly unlikely. That leaves Stenson Bennett. Bennett has shown promise during the 2025 offseason, but only time can tell how well he will fare in the regular season.<\/p>\n

A Shedeur Sanders trade will give the Rams head coach Sean McVay another chance at finding his franchise QB this season instead of having to wait until the 2026 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
