Colorado Buffaloes football legend Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel not safe from trade, release if Browns draft Cade Klubnik in 2026 | Sporting News

Colorado Buffaloes football legend Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel have not played an NFL snap yet.

Still, ESPNs Matt Miller is already predicting the franchise to target Clemsons Cade Klubnik at the 2026 draft .

Skip Bayless believes that Cleveland ditching Sanders and Gabriel entirely to cater to Clubnik is on the table.

[Miller] has the Cleveland Browns finishing worst and picking first.

And are you ready for this? Picking a quarterback first overall Clemsons Cade Klubnik.

I believe in Shedeur Sanders, who I thought should have gone No.

1 in this years draft.

I believe the NFL tried to teach Shedeur and his father, Deion, a big, bad lesson by blackballing him as Shedeur fell all the way into the fifth round, where Cleveland finally took him 50 picks after the Browns had already taken Dillon Gabriel, who, of course, also plays quarterback, Bayless said on The Skip Bayless Show.

If Matt Miller is right, then I dont know.

Id have to assume Shedeur would have to beat out Dillon Gabriel to be Klubniks backup going forward.

Unless, of course, the Browns just say, Weve got to remove any young threat to Klubnik.

Man, what a mountain Shedeur Sanders is now going to have to climb.

Sanders and Gabriel likely wont start the season under center, with Kenny Pickett looking like QB1 in Berea with less than two weeks to go until training camp.

Theres no guarantee theyll see playing time, either.

Many project the Browns to flounder in 2025, but theres a reason the games are played.

If Clevelands front office eventually decides to fully commit to Klubnik, removing Sanders would be a necessity if Deion Sanders is as vocal and demanding as hes expected to be when his son doesnt start.

Gabriel wouldnt be as much of a distraction, but as a third-round pick , he might have value on the trade market.

Time will tell if this preseason chatter will have any value a year from now.

The Browns may not need a QB at the 2026 draft, and Sanders and/or Gabriel may be the reason why..
