Shedeur Sanders Signs Rookie Contract With Cleveland Browns 4 Years, $4.6 Million
Written by Tariq on May 20, 2025
Shedeur Sanders, who entered the NFL Draft as a potential first-round pick and instead slid down the board before the Cleveland Browns selected him in the fifth round, is the fourth draftee to sign with the franchise. The deal measures approximately $4.6 million over four years, according to CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones. The tumble down the draft board likely cost Sanders millions of dollars. Numerous first-round selections already signed with their respective franchises with signing bonuses larger than Sanders’ entire four-year deal. Sanders is part of a crowded quarterback group in Cleveland which also features another 2025 draft selection in Dillon Gabriel, who heard his name called two rounds earlier at pick No. 94. Recent trade acquisition Kenny Pickett is the purported frontrunner to win the starting job ahead of next week’s OTAs, and Deshaun Watson is in the midst of his recovery from an Achilles injury.
